Abstract：Circumferential esophageal mucosal lesions were relatively rare and they were more difficult to be treated endoscopically.Endoscopic resection (ER) has a high success rate for short segment mucosal lesions.Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was developed for en bloc removal of large mucosal lesions,but endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) is a safe and effective alternative for long segment circumferential esophageal superficial neoplasms with a higher operation speed in contrast with ESD.Postoperative stricture after circumferential mucosal resection was inevitable and steroid therapy,balloon dilation and covered esophageal stent placement were recommended in the prevention of post-endoscopic therapy strictures.
