Closing large mucosal defects after ESD and EMR removal of large sessile adenomas in the proximal colon can be a challenge using standard endoscopic clips. OTSC clips and the overstitch device are not an option for large right colon defects. A suture linked 4 tack wound closure system was introduced recently that allows for approximation of these wound defects.
Unfortunately, implantation of the tacks and cinching of the suture is a complex process with many pitfalls. in addition, to reviewing the steps involved with insertion,
this video presents the potential problems that may arise with this system and provides solutions and insertion recommendations.
