Endoscopic full-thickness resection with retroperitoneal dissection for duodenal myogenic cyst with adjustable traction from an independently controlled snare
A 58-year-old man was coincidentally found to have a duodenal subepithelial lesion in the bulb. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a 20-mm anechoic lesion with suspicious echogenic content or a hypoechoic lesion from the muscular propria (Figs. 1 and 2; Video 1, available online at www.giejournal.org ). Computed tomography revealed a lesion close to the hepatic hilum (Fig. 3). After a multidisciplinary discussion with endoscopists and surgeons, we decided to perform endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) of the lesion with acceptable risk.
