The electrocautery unit VIO of Erbe line, promotes automated safe and pulsed power failure, allowing to perform advanced procedures in endoscopy, such as Dissection Endoscopic the submucosa (ESD ), removing in a single block precursor lesions and cancer early in the esophagus, stomach, large intestine and rectum, reducing the risk of relapse compared to procedures performed and avoiding some surgeries.
Colorectal cancer is the second most prevalent in men and women in the Southeast of Brazil ( the National Cancer Institute data). In addition, its known that near 90% of colorectal cancer cases are sourced from a adenoma (benign lesion easily removed for endoscopic procedure). So it would be of great value to implement this procedure in our unit, through the acquisition this electrocautery unit, avoiding that many of our patients require surgery . Opting for a less gory, with lower morbidofy and mortality.
Endoscopic dissection of the submucosa is a procedure developed by the Japanese that with tools that resemble small electric scalpels, known as 'knife', cut the lesion as a whole, with a safety margin without body piercing, using the channel endoscope work. This procedure could benefit patients with early and high surgical risk injury.
