On december 7, 2020, olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received the literature titled "comparison of short-term efficacy between endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection and endoscopic submucosal dissection in treatment of wide esophageal squamous cell carcinoma of early stage".This study was conducted endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (estd) with endoscopic submucosal dissection (esd) for 40 patients with early-stage esophageal squamous cancer between january 2014 to december 2016.In the literature, it was reported that bleeding, perforation, stenosis, additional surgery, fever, and mediastinal emphysema have occurred.The additional surgery patient was an esophagectomy due to pathologic incomplete resection.Therefore, it was no relationship between the event and the subject device.Based on the available information, detailed information of the subject device was not provided, and there is no description of the relationship between the events and the subject device.However, omsc assumes that the perforation and the bleeding might be related to the subject device since the subject device was used for submucosal resection.There is no description of the device's malfunction.Omsc will submit one medical device report (mdr) for the type of the device (electrosurgical knife).
