Novel robotic gripper for traction and closure in colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely recognized as a minimally invasive approach for treating colorectal tumors.1 Tissue traction and defect closure are critical components for enhancing the safety and effectiveness of colorectal ESD procedures (Fig. 1).2,3 A novel robotic gripper has recently been developed that effectively combines traction and closure functions (ROBOPERA-TraCloser [Dual Gripper]; ENDOROBOTICS, Seoul, South Korea) (Fig. 2). We present the application of this device and demonstrate its utility in colorectal ESD through 2 case studies.
