Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes cancer from the gastrointestinal tract of a patient without removing the organ involved. This allows the patient to maintain quality of life.
In classic endoscopic resection prior to the introduction of ESD, an electric knife was used primarily to pre-cut the area around the lesion before using a snare for gastrointestinal lesions. During ESD, an endoscopic electric knife is an important accessory device for dissecting the submucosal layer of the lesion and the surrounding region.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Knife market size is estimated to be worth US$ 458.
