This is a complex organ-preserving intervention in which the neoplasm is removed within the submucosal layer of the intestine, without resorting to abdominal surgery.
During dissection, the endoscopist literally moves millimeter by millimeter, precisely separating the pathological tissues from the intestinal wall. Such operations can last up to nine hours!
Despite the complexity of the intervention, modern endoscopic technologies can significantly shorten the recovery period. If the dynamics are favorable, the patient is scheduled to be discharged tomorrow. Before the operation, the woman admitted that she was really looking forward to her grandson's arrival and wanted to return home as soon as possible.
