Effect of Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection on Motility and Symptoms: A Prospective Study

Figure 6

Representative case from group B in which there were changes after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Patient number 25 is a typical case from group B (more than 2/3 circumferential resection). Symptom score and distal contractile index (DCI) were increased after ESD compared with before ESD. The yellow arrow indicates the resected region (29–32 cm from the incisor column). DCI increased significantly in the resected region.
