Table 1. Results with UESD versus UESD-R.
ESD technique (n = 6/group) | Cap | UESD | UESD-R | Significance |
Procedural time (mins +/– SD) | 58 (+/– 21) | 56 (+/– 10) | 25 (+/– 7) | Cap vs. UESD = 0.97 UESD vs. UESD-R = 0.005 Cap vs. UESD-R = 0.003 |
Dissection time (mins +/– SD) | 52 (+/– 20) | 45 (+/– 6) | 5 (+/– 3) | Cap vs. UESD = 0.57 UESD vs. UESD-R = 0.0001 Cap vs. UESD-R = 0.0001 |
UESD, underwater endoscopic submucosal dissection; UESD-R, underwater endoscopic submucosal dissection with retraction; SD, standard deviation
