Abstract Text Several reports support the use of endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID) instead of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the removal of deeply invasive rectal submucosal cancers. The resection plane into the intermuscular space, the space between the longitudinal (external) and circular (internal) muscle layer, provides a radical removal for rectal invasive cancers. Furthermore, the technique offers the potential for dissection of scarred and severe fibrotic lesions in the rectum by cutting deeper and perform a partial myectomy avoiding the narrow submucosal space. We would like to present our case series with 10 EIDs both for deeply invasive rectal cancers and benign rectal lesions.
