AIM: A ligation-assisted endoscopic enucleation (EE-L) technique was developed and was evaluated to determine its efficacy and safety for treating muscularis propria-originating @entity14 (<10 mm). METHOD: EE-L was used to treat 13 such @entity1 between January 2011 and January 2014. The @entity5 was sucked into a transparent cap and ligated at its base by a @entity2144 attached to the tip of the endoscope. With the creation of a pseudo-stalk, the @entity5 was then enucleated using endoscopic dissection and the .wound was closed with clips. RESULTS: All @entity5 (median diameter,6.8 (4-10) mm were successfully (procedure time 19 (11-27) minutes) and histopathological examination identified 11 (84.6%) to be @entity2909 and 2 (15.4%) low risk @entity5 ( @entity5 ). No perforations or massive @entity548 occurred and there were no recurrences during a follow-up of 3-39 months. CONCLUSIONS: EE-L is a successful technique for the removal of small muscularis propria @entity14 with few complications and enables the histopathological diagnosis. In this study, all the resected lesions had a benign pathology. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
