Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of microwave coagulation and balloon dilatation on benign esophageal stenosis. Methods The location and degree of esophageal stenosis was diagnosed by endoscopy. Balloon dilatation or microwave coagulation plus balloon dilatation were selected to treat esophageal stenosis according to the severity of esophageal stenosis. Results 87 cases of esophageal stenosis were caused by esophageal anastomosis after esophagectomy (n=37), radiotherapy(n=25), chemical damage(n=22) and unclear causes(n=3) respectively. 66 cases of esophagostenosis were treated by balloon dilatation and 21 cases were treated by microwave coagulation plus balloon dilatation. 78 cases of esophageal stenosis were significantly improved, 8 cases were improved, and 1 case happened esophageal perforation. Conclusion Endoscopic therapies including balloon dilatation or microwave coagulation plus balloon dilatation were efficacious to esophageal stenosis caused by various causes.
