The 7 Steps for a Successful Submucosal Cushion

In this episode, the host discusses the importance of submucosal cushion in endoscopic procedures. They highlight the groundbreaking work of Professor Dailin in Germany, who first introduced the concept of using a needle to perform a submucosal injection. This technique not only reduces the risk of perforation during polypectomy but also improves resection capabilities. The submucosal cushion is particularly valuable for endoscopic mucosal resection, submucosal dissection, and third space endoscopy. The host emphasizes how the cushion enhances lesion visibility and provides a safety base for more effective resection. They showcase two cases where the submucosal cushion was used to accurately assess and resect small but aggressive polyps. Overall, this episode emphasizes the significance of submucosal cushion in achieving successful and thorough endoscopic procedures.
