Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is an effective, economical, and minimally invasive technique for submucosal tumors (SMTs). However, technical complexity and prolonged operative time remain significant limitations. This study introduces a refined EFTR strategy termed "single traction combined with pre-clamping" in a cohort of 10 patients. The proposed technique demonstrates reduced procedural duration, technical difficulty, and intraoperative risks compared to the conventional approach.
