Traction vs. No Traction in Colonic ESD (NCT06159634)
Comparison of the Efficacy of Using a Traction Device in Colonic Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Versus Conventional ESD: A Randomized Clinical Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this prospective, randomized, controlled trial conducted at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center is to compare the effectiveness and clinical outcomes of using a traction device in colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to those of using conventional ESD. The investigators of this study hypothesize that use of the traction device will help expedite colonic endoscopic submucosal dissections.
