Significance of Mini Probe Ultrasonography-assisted Endoscopic Therapy in Management of Gastrointestinal Submucosal Lesions

Background: Conventional gastrointestinal endoscopy is incapable of determining the deriving layers,size and nature of submucosal lesions,however,mini probe ultrasonography( MPS) is effective for mural stratification and determining the deriving layers and nature of lesions within gastrointestinal wall,and is considered to be an optimal examination for suspected submucosal tumors before endoscopic or surgical operation.
