An increasingly popular technique for removing lesions associated with Barrett’s esophagus has been deemed a safe and effective treatment option in a study of more than 1,000 resections published this month in the European journal Endoscopy.1 The five-year study performed by a team of experienced endoscopists, is the largest prospective series to date to examine the safety and efficacy of multiband mucosectomy (MBM), an endoscopic procedure that is a simple and fast treatment option for Barrett’s esophagus, a condition that can result from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
