Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of different endoscopic methods in treatment of refractory erosive esophageal strictures.Method Clinical data of three patients with refractory erosive esophageal stenosis treated by endoscopic probe dilation, stent implantation, and endoscopic push-radial dissection (EPRD) were retrospectively analyzed.Result After repeated endoscopic treatment, all the three patients achieved good therapeutic effects, and there were no serious complications such as massive bleeding and perforation during and after operation. With the increase of the number of treatment, the longer the remission time was, the more the dysphagia improved obviously. Among the three treatment methods, stent placement had the most significant improvement in dysphagia.Conclusion Endoscopic dilation, stenting and EPRD are safe, feasible and effective methods for the treatment of refractory esophageal strictures.
