Case Study
Submucosal Dissection in Barrett’s Early Cancer using Speedboat UltraSlim
Endoscopic R0 resection via ESD procedures is an evolving approach in the treatment of early GI cancer. Advanced Bipolar resection devices, such as the Speedboat™, are designed to create a deeper resection margin at the muscle layer, reduce charring, and enhance safety due to the device‘s protective hull.
In this clinical case, we present a resection specimen of a T1 sm1 Barrett’s cancer with clear R0 resection margins, allowing for improved histological evaluation.
A 52-year-old male patient presented with reflux disease and a suspected C0M1 Barrett’s oesophagus with high-grade dysplasia in random biopsies. Further evaluation revealed a localized 1×1 cm area at the 8:00 position, suspected for dysplasia (Fig.1 & 2).
