Gel immersion ESD (GI-ESD) may offer mechanistic advantages over\n        conventional CO2-insufflation ESD (C-ESD), including reduced colonic distension,\n        improved visibility\/depth perception, buoyancy-assisted dissection stability, and heat-sink\n        protection. We hypothesized that these features would improve short-term safety and\n        procedure stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this single-center retrospective study, 426 consecutive colorectal ESD cases (from\n        January 2022 to December 2024) were analyzed. C-ESD was performed from January 2022 to March\n        2024; GI-ESD using Viscoclear (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Tokushima, Japan) from April\n        to December 2024. After excluding non-epithelial lesions, 392 patients were included,\n        including interrupted procedures. The primary outcome was adverse events (perforation,\n        delayed bleeding). Secondary outcomes were en bloc and R0 resection rates, procedure time,\n        and postoperative inflammatory response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of 392 patients, 293 underwent C-ESD and 99 underwent GI-ESD were analyzed. En-bloc and\n        R0 resection rates were comparable between GI-ESD and C-ESD (97.0% vs. 99.9%, P = 0.16, 90.6% vs. 91.4%, P = 0.35). The\n        perforation rate was significantly lower in GI-ESD (0% vs. 4.1%, P\n        = 0.04). Postoperative fever (\u2265 37.6\u00b0C; 4.2% vs. 12.7%, P\n        = 0.02) and median CRP elevation (0.33 mg\/dl vs. 0.42 mg\/dl, P\n        &lt; 0.01) were also significantly reduced in GI-ESD; however, incidence of\n        post-endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS) was not\n        significantly different between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>GI-ESD achieved curative outcomes comparable to C-ESD while reducing perforation risk; PECS remained comparable between
