1
There were neither anastomotic leak nor early anastomotic stricture.
2
None had an anastomotic stricture.
3
Results: Twenty-one patients in our database presented with benign anastomotic stricture after a total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer.
4
Background: Benign anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy and reconstruction adversely affects oral intake and can increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
5
Purpose: We describe a new surgical endoscopic technique for nonmalignant ureterointestinal anastomotic strictures.
6
Our data also suggest a greater responsiveness for anastomotic strictures than for non-anastomotic strictures.
7
Anastomotic strictures were present in 56 patients; nonanastomotic strictures were present in 16.
8
Recently, endoscopic radial incision and cutting methods have been applied to esophageal post-procedural strictures and even for anastomotic strictures following surgery.
9
In 8 patients, anastomotic strictures were diagnosed, 7 of which were confirmed at surgery or using ERC.
10
This study aimed to investigate whether the endoscopic appearance of anastomosis during the early postoperative period is associated with the complexity of subsequent anastomotic strictures.
