Abstract:
Esophageal stenosis primarily refers to the narrowing of the esophageal lumen caused by intrinsic esophageal diseases or their complications,categorized into benign and malignant types.Benign esophageal stenosis can arise from congenital factors or secondary conditions such as postoperative changes following esophageal cancer surgery,esophagitis,and other inflammatory processes.This condition is characterized by dysphagia,significantly impacting patients'quality of life and imposing substantial economic and medical burdens on society.Effective prevention and management of benign esophageal stenosis have emerged as an urgent medical challenge.With advancements in endoscopic techniques,various interventions including endoscopic dilation,endoscopic mucosal resection,endoscopic stenting,and regenerative medicine have been applied to treat benign esophageal stenosis,achieving promising therapeutic outcomes.In recent years,regenerative medicine has gained prominence,promoting early re-epithelialization through the structural and functional reconstruction of normal tissues,offering potential applications in the prevention and treatment of benign esophageal stenosis.However,selecting an appropriate treatment method for benign esophageal stenosis requires a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition,therapeutic efficacy,potential complications,recurrence rates,and other relevant factors.This review aims to summarize the current progress in endoscopic treatments for benign esophageal stenosis,providing valuable insights for clinical practice.
