Abstract
BACKGROUND: The number of complications associated with use of EMR for early-stage gastric cancer, including perforation, has increased with the increasing use of this procedure. Endoscopic clip application was performed in patients who sustained a perforation as a result of EMR for gastric neoplasm. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven patients who underwent endoscopic application of metallic clips to close perforations were studied. The omental patch method was applied in one case with a large perforation. OBSERVATIONS: In all patients, endoscopic clip application successfully closed the perforation of the stomach, which occurred after EMR. No patient required laparotomy.Entities:
