What is Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection (STER)?
STER Technology:
Minimally Invasive: STER is an advanced endoscopic procedure designed to remove lumps and bumps (subepithelial tumors) from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without the need for major surgery.
Precise Technique: The procedure involves creating a tunnel in the submucosal layer to access and remove the tumor.
Safe and Effective: This method minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and promotes faster recovery.
Who is STER For?
Patients with Subepithelial Tumors: Ideal for those diagnosed with subepithelial tumors in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.
Why STER?
Minimally Invasive: No large incisions, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery.
Precise Removal: Allows for the precise removal of tumors while preserving the integrity of the GI tract.
Early Discharge: Patients can often go home the same day or the next day.
Low Risk of Complications: Reduced risk of infection and other complications compared to traditional surgery.
