In the Through the Scope video series, Rajesh Keswani from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine demonstrates the resection of a rectal carcinoid tumor.
He explains that carcinoid tumors often arise deep in the mucosa, making them difficult to remove using conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). Instead, endoscopic full-thickness resection can provide a safe and effective technique to remove these lesions while achieving clearer and deeper margins.
