Submucosal injection is currently used in GI endoscopy to reduce resection risks and to perform submucosal dissection; it is usually performed via an injection needle or via a needleless device. The aim of the study was to compare 2 submucosal injection modalities (needle-assisted vs needleless) by using substances with different viscosities METHODS: Needle and needleless injections were compared by assessing the efficacy of tissue elevation with 5 different substances in an ex vivo porcine model. The height of the submucosal elevation was measured after 0(t0), 10(t1) and 30 minutes after injection(t2). Viscosity of the solution was also measured.

Abstract
Submucosal injection is currently used in GI endoscopy to reduce resection risks and to perform submucosal dissection; it is usually performed via an injection needle or via a needleless device. The aim of the study was to compare 2 submucosal injection modalities (needle-assisted vs needleless) by using substances with different viscosities METHODS: Needle and needleless injections were compared by assessing the efficacy of tissue elevation with 5 different substances in an ex vivo porcine model. The height of the submucosal elevation was measured after 0(t0), 10(t1) and 30 minutes after injection(t2). Viscosity of the solution was also measured.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
