Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of miniprobe sonography (MPS) assisted endoscopic radial incision (ERI) in treatment of benign upper gastrointestinal tract cicatricial strictures.Methods From November 2017 to January 2020, 30 patients who underwent MPS evaluation and ERI treatment for upper gastrointestinal tract stenosis were collected, and stenosis improvement after treatment and complications were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy and safety.Results All the 30 patients completed MPS assisted ERI, with an average operation time of (15.34 ± 2.75) min, and no complications such as perforation or bleeding occurred in all patients. The average score of dysphagia before surgery was (2.87 ± 0.51), which was reduced to (0.87 ± 0.43) after surgery, showing statistically significant differences compared with that before surgery (P < 0.05). The score of dysphagia was (0.90 ± 0.80) and (1.03 ± 0.49) at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, and there was no significant difference in dysphagia score compared with that before discharge (P > 0.05).Conclusion MPS assisted ERI is safe and effective in the treatment of benign upper gastrointestinal tract cicatricial strictures. It is worthy of clinical application.
