  • Endoscopic Mucosal Resection; EMR

  • Under the endoscope, a water bag is placed in the air, the lesion area is ensnared with a noose, and a high-frequency current is applied to excise the tissue. After the drug is injected, it is removed with a hook, and in some cases, with forceps.
    The procedure is relatively simple, but it is difficult to sufficiently remove the area around the lesion, so the skill of the medical staff is very important. Gangnam Gie Hospital uses highly efficient endoscopic equipment to achieve a high lesion detection rate and shorten the procedure time.
