Case description

An elderly patient was found to have a flat lesion in the rectosigmoid junction. Resection was difficult due to narrow lumen and he was referred to surgery. However, the patient opted for a minimally invasive treatment

The endoscopic mucosal resection was performed underwater as this appeared to help keep the narrow lumen distended.
