Endoscopic mucosal resection has been recognized as a standard method for treating mucosal tumors of the stomach in Japan. In our department, we have treated mucosal defects after this procedure by using metallic clips to prevent and manage complications related to endoscopic mucosal resection. In the present study, we explain the new technique, the ‘loop‐and‐clips’ method, which uses clips and a detachable snare to close large mucosal defects after endoscopic mucosal resection.
