Endoscopic mucosal resection is a minimally invasive procedure to remove irregular tissue from your digestive tract. Your digestive, or gastrointestinal, tract is the series of organs your food travels through as it’s digested. The technique allows your healthcare provider to reach your digestive tract without making any incisions from outside your belly. This means you experience less pain and recover faster after endoscopic mucosal resection than after open surgery.
Endoscopic mucosal resection is typically used to treat:
Barrett’s esophagus, which may cause precancerous lesions.
Colorectal cancer.
Esophageal cancer.
Small intestine cancer, including duodenal cancer.
Stomach cancer.
