What Entails

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection?


Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) constitutes an outpatient therapy enabling experts to remove tumors located just beneath the gastrointestinal (GI) lining, obviating the need for surgery. Utilizing an endoscope (a pliable, tube-like device), gastroenterologists from Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates (medical specialists focusing on GI system treatment) can scrutinize the body’s interior with exceptional precision. Simultaneously, they can extract growths, such as upper GI or colon tumors, that would otherwise necessitate a more invasive intervention. Following completion, numerous patients are discharged on the same day. As there’s no incision, your recovery might be faster, and discomfort minimal compared to open or laparoscopic surgery. Should you desire to arrange an endoscopic mucosal resection in Texas, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection

What are the Indications of Primary Biliary Cholangitis?


This technique serves as a minimally invasive alternative to procedures removing abnormal tissues from the digestive tract lining. Your gastroenterologist might recommend this method for eliminating specific early-stage cancers or precancerous growths.

Some of the conditions managed by EMR encompass:

  • Colon cancer
  • Barrett’s esophagus
  • Non Cancerous uterine growths (leiomyomas)
  • Colon polyps
  • Small intestine (duodenum) cancer
  • Stomach (gastric) cancer

If you’re affected by any of the above conditions and seek further insights into this procedure, promptly contact Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates to initiate the process of scheduling a consultation.

What Risks are Associated with Endoscopic Mucosal Resection?


Potential complications linked to endoscopic mucosal resection procedures include:

  • Hemorrhage:
    Bleeding stands as the most prevalent issue and can frequently be observed and addressed during the procedure.
  • Perforation (puncture):
    A slight risk of puncturing the gastrointestinal tract lining exists, which depends on the size and location of the lesion.
  • Esophagus narrowing:
    Extracting specific esophageal lesions may heighten scarring risk, leading to esophageal constriction. This could result in swallowing difficulties, necessitating additional treatment.

If any of the listed signs or symptoms manifest after undergoing an endoscopic mucosal resection, promptly reach out to your Texas GI physician or seek urgent medical attention:

  • Discomfort in the chest or abdomen
  • Bright red blood in the stool
  • Chills
  • Black stool
  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Fainting
  • Breathing difficulties

When can I expect the outcome of my endoscopic mucosal resection?


You will arrange a subsequent appointment with your GI expert from Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates to converse about the results of your endoscopic mucosal resection and any findings from lab examinations conducted on tissue samples. Queries to pose to your specialist encompass:

  • Will additional procedures be necessary if cancer is present?
  • Was the removal of all abnormal tissue successful?
  • How will my condition be monitored?
  • Should I consult a cancer specialist (oncologist)?
  • What did the lab tests indicate? Is cancer present?

Typically, you will undergo an additional upper endoscopy or colonoscopy a few months following the endoscopic mucosal resection to ensure complete eradication of the lesion. During your initial procedure, your gastroenterologist may mark the site of the excised growth with ink (a tattoo), facilitating easy identification during future assessments. The specifics of follow-up appointments hinge on the findings derived from these evaluations.
