Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a novel technique for endoscopic en bloc resection of neoplastic and dysplastic lesion in the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) has been used historically however ESD carries the added advantage of providing accurate histopathologic evaluation for resection margins, low recurrence rate, curative resection. Also compared to surgery it carries a lower risk of morbidity and mortality. ESD is well established in Asia however its adoption is lagging in North America.We summarize the @GIJournal discussion held on March 10th, 2021 during which Draganov et al. “Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) in North America: A Large Prospective Multicenter Study” was critically reviewed by our expert panel: Drs. Neil Sharma (NS), and Mohamed Othman (MO) and moderated by Dalbir Sandhu (DS).
