Abstract

Endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) is an evolving procedure along the spectrum of lesion resection. It encompasses a wide range of various clinical applications and indications, with evolving devices for resection and defect closure. The rapidly changing landscape of EFTR over the past years, alongside the potential for new developments, necessitates a better understanding of this field and its’ required training. This review summarizes a brief history of EFTR over time, while highlighting the goals and steps of training for this emerging procedure.
