Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using an ultrathin endoscope boasts high en bloc resection rates, particularly in challenging locations like the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. This retrospective study of 13 patients with 14 lesions reveals a 100% en bloc resection rate and a 92.9% en bloc complete resection rate. With minimal adverse events, ESD with an ultrathin endoscope proves to be a viable treatment option for distal gastrointestinal lesions and duodenal tumors.
