Closure of a colonic perforation during ESD with an endoscopic suturing device. A, Large, sessile polyp in the descending colon. B, A full-thickness perforation during ESD. C, ESD is completed. D, Double-channel endoscope preloaded with an endoscopic suturing device is advanced toward the ESD site to start suturing. E, Colonic perforation and large mucosal defect after ESD completely closed with 1 continuous suturing line. ESD, endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Follow-up colonoscopy in 3 months demonstrating complete healing of previous perforation and post-ESD defect in the patient in Figure 3. A, Previous perforation and mucosal defect after ESD healed completely. Previously made endoscopic suture is still attached. B, The suture is cut off with endoscopic scissors. C, The suture is removed. There is no residual polypoid tissue. A small granuloma near the site of previous ESD will be removed with endoscopic forceps and sent for histological evaluation. ESD, endoscopic submucosal dissection.
