| [ Summary ] | EMR has been widely accepted for treatment of early gastric and colorectal neoplasms. Perforations are the most severe complication associated with upper or lower endoscopic treatment. Recently, successful closure with endoscopic clips, without surgical treatment, has been reported. Immediate endoscopic clip closure and resulting conservative treatments are effective for treating perforations which occur during EMR or ESD. | |
