Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) Surgery – Removing Early GI Lesions

Introduction to EMR

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal or precancerous tissue from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is commonly performed to treat early-stage cancers or large polyps in the esophagus, stomach, and colon. EMR helps preserve the organ while providing effective treatment.

Technique of EMR

The procedure begins with an endoscope inserted through the mouth or rectum to reach the target site. A lifting solution is injected beneath the lesion to separate it from deeper tissue layers. Using a specialized snare, the lesion is captured and resected. The tissue is then retrieved for histopathological examination. The process avoids open surgery and enables accurate therapeutic outcomes with minimal recovery time.

Medical Indications for the Surgery

• To remove large or flat polyps in the GI tract.
• For treatment of early-stage gastrointestinal cancers.
• To manage Barrett’s esophagus with dysplasia.
• To obtain diagnostic tissue for evaluation of suspicious lesions.

Advantages of the Surgery

• Minimally invasive with faster recovery compared to surgery.
• Effective removal of precancerous and early-stage cancerous lesions.
• Organ-preserving approach without large incisions.
• Provides tissue samples for accurate diagnosis.
• Reduces need for major surgical interventions.

Long-Term Outcomes of EMR

Clinical studies have shown that EMR offers high success rates for local disease control, with low recurrence when performed by skilled gastroenterologists. Regular follow-up endoscopies ensure early detection of any recurrence, making EMR a safe and reliable therapeutic choice for GI lesions.
