Endoscopic incision plus esophageal stenting for refractory esophageal stricture in children.
A 4-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with a 4-year history of vomiting and bucking. He had a diagnosis of esophageal atresia at Day 2 after birth and underwent surgery. Stricture formed 1 year after surgery. Prior to admission, he had undergone balloon dilation four times, stenting twice, and surgery once. Esophageal barium meal examination showed two strictures in the middle and lower...
متن کاملProphylactic stenting for esophageal stricture prevention after endoscopic submucosal dissection
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of superficial esophageal cancer has been increasingly used as an alternative to surgery because it is minimally invasive and has a high rate of en bloc resection. However, a high rate of esophageal stricture is observed after ESD for large lesions, which can dramatically decrease the patient's quality of life. Stricture prevention is necessary to allow fo...
متن کاملEndoscopic incision with esophageal stenting helped to remove a gastrostomy tube in a patient with refractory stricture.
Most cases of esophageal benign stricture can be successfully managed with dilation; however, refractory stricture is often unresponsive to repeated dilation. Endoscopic incision is a novel technique for treating refractory esophageal stricture, although recurrence is noted in patients with stricture measuring greater than 1.5 cm, thus requiring the use of repeated incisions and/or preventive d...
متن کاملEsophageal stricture prevention post endoscopic sub - mucosal dissection Running title - Prophylaxis for esophageal stricture
Advancement in diagnostic modalities and improvement in surveillance programs for Barrett esophagus has resulted in increase in incidence of superficial esophageal cancers (SEC). SEC, due to their limited metastatic potential are amenable to non-invasive treatment modalities. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic sub-mucosal dissection (ESD) are few new ...

Advances in diagnostic modalities and improvement in surveillance programs for Barrett esophagus has resulted in an increase in the incidence of superficial esophageal cancers (SECs). SEC, due to their limited metastatic potential, are amenable to non-invasive treatment modalities. Endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic mucosal resection, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are some of the ne...
