Third space endoscopy, also known as submucosal endoscopy or submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER), is a minimally invasive procedure used to access and treat lesions or tumors in the gastrointestinal tract. It involves creating a tunnel within the submucosal layer of the digestive tract to reach the target area.
During the procedure, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth or anus and advanced to the desired location. A submucosal tunnel is then created using specialized tools, allowing the endoscope to access the deeper layers of the gastrointestinal tract. This technique provides better visualization and access to lesions that are difficult to reach with traditional endoscopy.
Third space endoscopy is commonly used for the removal of gastrointestinal tumors, such as early-stage esophageal, gastric, or colorectal cancers. It can also be used for the treatment of other conditions, such as submucosal tumors, strictures, or achalasia.
The advantages of third space endoscopy include reduced invasiveness, shorter recovery time, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical approaches. However, it is a complex procedure that requires specialized training and expertise.
