    Abstract:
    Mucosal cancer in the gastrointestinal tract generally has low risk of lymph node metastasis. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are techniques of local excision of neoplasia confined to the mucosal layer. Specimens from EMR/ESD contribute to several diagnoses, and histologic results affect treatment decisions. A combined laparoscopic and endoscopic approach to neoplasia with a nonexposure technique allows full-thickness resection of the stomach wall without exposing the gastric lumen to the peritoneal cavity, preventing cancer cell dissemination to the peritoneal cavity. This article reviews EMR/ESD and describes a new full-thickness resection method using the nonexposure technique (CLEAN-NET).
