Endoscopic clip closure techniques used in the present study. a Conventional method. Complete closure is achieved with conventional clips by directly bridging the two mucosal rims. b, c Mucosa-submucosa clip closure method. The first clip is placed at the edge of the mucosal defect (b). Additional clips are placed to achieve complete closure (c). d, e, f. Hold-and-drag closure technique. The anal side of the mucosal defect is held with the repositionable clip (d). After gently reopening the clip, both edges are grasped (e). The closure is completed using one repositionable clip and several standard clips (f)
