Steroids were given orally to prevent esophagealstricture starting on day 3 postoperatively.
2
One patient had a two-stage esophagogastrectomy for a benign esophagealstricture.
3
Recently, oral steroid treatment has been widely used for the prevention of esophagealstricture.
4
One patient with an esophagealstricture died from systemic complications.
5
Background and aim: Dysphagia caused by pharyngo-upper esophagealstricture is a complication of treatment for head and neck cancer.
6
Conclusion: Esophageal dilatation is effective for the management of children with esophagealstricture; however, repeated dilatation is frequent, especially in patients with corrosive strictures.
7
Animals in groups 1 and 2 were sacrificed within approximately 3 weeks because of the formation of intractable esophagealstricture.
8
This inflammation leads to feeding difficulties, failure to thrive and vomiting in young children, and causes food impaction and esophagealstricture in adolescents and adults.
9
After a thorough medical examination, the patient was diagnosed with a penetrating ulcer due to reflux esophagitis, lower esophagealstricture, Barrett esophagus, and shortened esophagus.
10
One patient experienced Grade 3 acute esophagitis, and 2 experienced late (Grade 3) esophagealstricture, successfully managed with dilation.
11
However, recurrent esophagealstrictures after BD have been reported.
12
On the other hand, esophagealstrictures after endoscopic treatment of an extensive circumferential lesion are a potential problem.
13
Objectives: To report the results of endoscopic dilatation of esophagealstrictures in children, its complications, and their management.
14
Most common side effects of cryotherapy reported in the literature include mild chest discomfort, esophagealstrictures and bleeding.
15
Previously, for the prevention and treatment of esophagealstrictures, patients had to undergo painful endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) many times.
16
In the present study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of EBD for pharyngo-upper esophagealstrictures that developed after treatment for head and neck cancer.
