The integrated functions of waterjet surgery and electrosurgery in the HybridKnife enable endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a LST-NG (laterally spreading, non-granular type) tumor in the distal sigmoid colon.R0 resection of the adenoma with high grade dysplasia was confirmed in the pathological report.
From marking, elevation, incision/dissection to coagulation – all working steps are performed with just one instrument, and all functions are available at all times. Even larger tumors can be resected efficiently en bloc.Thanks to waterjet elevation, the muscularis layer is protected from mechanical and thermal perforation.
