Since its first description, saline-immersion therapeutic endoscopy (SITE) is being increasingly adopted to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) [1] [2]. SITE enhances access to submucosal pockets, and through buoyancy, obviates any need for traction. It augments visibility through magnification and elimination of smoke/debris, and its minimal distension of the lumen optimizes endoscopic maneuverability and patient comfort [1] [3]. We report a further advantage of SITE.
