Assessment reveals improved access using a multibending scope in early gastric cancer treatment, suggesting potential benefits in challenging gastric areas.
A multibending scope is useful in gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC), especially in anatomically challenging areas, such as the fornix and the anterior wall of the gastric body, where close access is often difficult using conventional therapeutic endoscopes [1] [2]. However, use of the multibending scope is restricted because it is produced by a single company and available only in a limited number of institutions.
