[ Summary ] The major intraoperative complications of ESD are bleeding and perforations. To avoid these complications, it is important to obtain the appropriate views of the submucosal layer and to manage the device exactly during the procedure. Intraoperative bleeding and perforations can be conservatively treated by endoscopic hemostasis or endoscopic closure by using endoclips. The major postoperative complications are bleeding, perforations, and stenosis. Coagulation of vessels at the ulcer floor, after ESD, is useful to prevent postoperative bleeding. To prevent stenosis, balloon bougie is necessary. Delayed perforation is rare, but may lead to serious complications, requiring surgical procedures.
