About this trial
Patients scheduled for an endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) in the colorectum will be randomized to the use of a traction device(consisting of an endoscopic clip with a loop of dental floss secured in the lesion to be removed, another clip will anchor the loop to adjacent bowel wall) or a standard ESD.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
a lesion in the colon or rectum suitable for removal by the ESD technique
Disqualifiers
dementia
inability to understand the written study information
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
clip-traction
DeviceA endoscopic clip with a loop of tied dental floss will be attached to the lesion. The loop will then be caught by another endoscopic clip and attached to adjacent bowel wall, thus creating tension in the tissue, making dissection easier.
