    Daniel C. Steinemann et al. Laparoscopic transgastric circumferential stapler-assisted vs. endoscopic esophageal mucosectomy in a porcine model

    Steinemann et al. describe a new surgical technique for circum„ferential mucosectomy in the esophagus. They used a porcine model to test a stapler-assisted mucosectomy technique that involves a laparoscopic transgastric abdominal approach through the stomach. After the esophageal mucosa has been lifted using saline, the mucosa is resected using a surgical stapler, achieving an en bloc and circumferential specimen.
