Save the injection needle for colorectal ESD: a multicenter feasibility study of the needleless injection technique using short-tip endoknife
NIT-ESD appears to be a safe and effective alternative to conventional ESD, achieving comparable clinical outcomes with shorter procedure times and potential environmental benefits. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings, assess the learning curve, and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of NIT-ESD in clinical practice.
