Post written by Naoya Tada, MD, PhD, Akira Dobashi, MD, PhD, and Kazuki Sumiyama, MD, PhD, from the Department of Endoscopy, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. Our video demonstrates a combined technique of scar incision and endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) for severe benign esophageal strictures following endoscopic submucosal dissection or esophagectomy. After identifying areas of severe fibrosis, we selectively …

Retrograde balloon pull-through technique for benign esophageal strictures: a single-center pilot experience
Post written by Shae Patel, DO, from Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California, USA, and Wasseem Skef, MD, from the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. The focus of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retrograde balloon dilation compared with traditional antegrade savary dilation …
The use of a self-assembling peptide gel for stricture prevention in the esophagus after endoscopic submucosal dissection: a U.S. multicenter prospective study (with video)
Post written by Dennis Yang, MD, from the Center for Interventional Endoscopy, AdventHealth, Orlando, Florida, USA. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become an increasingly endorsed technique for the management of superficial neoplasia in the esophagus. The main limitation with ESD in the esophagus is the high rate of stricture formation. The aim of this multicenter …
Efficacy of bougie versus balloon dilatation in children with benign esophageal stricture: a propensity score–matched retrospective cohort study
Post written by Ujjal Poddar, MD, DNB, DM, from the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. We conducted this propensity score—matched retrospective study to compare bougie versus balloon dilatation for short esophageal strictures in children and assess the outcome of endoscopic dilatation on their growth. Although uncommon, …
Possibility of ultrathin endoscopy in radial incision and cutting for esophageal strictures
Post written by Mako Koseki, MD, and Daisuke Kikuchi, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. In this video, we present a case of a refractory esophageal stricture caused by anastomosis of gastric tube reconstruction for advanced esophageal carcinoma. We treated the stricture with radial incision and cutting (RIC) using ultrathin endoscopy. …
Usefulness of a thin-endoscope ESD using the traction device for early gastric cancer in a patient with esophageal stricture
Post written by Takashi Muramoto, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. The video describes the usefulness of a thin-endoscope endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using the traction device for early gastric cancer in a patient with an esophageal stricture. A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital for …
Transplantation of autologous esophageal mucosa
Post written by JianYing Bai, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China. We focused on the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic transplantation of autologous esophageal mucosa in preventing stricture formation after circumferential ESD. Esophageal stricture is a very common adverse event after ESD, especially with resection of nearly …

Acellular dermal matrix for esophageal stricture prevention after ESD in a porcine model
Post written by Siyu Sun MD, PhD, and Ye Han MD, PhD, from the Endoscopic Center, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China. Esophageal stenosis is closely associated with quasi-circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We examined whether post-ESD esophageal stricture can be prevented by grafting an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) membrane in a large …
Biodegradable stents for refractory benign esophageal strictures
Post written by Tomonori Yano, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa, Japan. This study was a prospective evaluation of efficacy and safety of biodegradable stents for refractory benign esophageal strictures after curative treatment for esophageal cancer. Before conducting this study, little was known about the efficacy and …

Endoscopic incision method to treat refractory esophageal stricture
Post written by Bing Hu, MB, from the Department of Gastroenterology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Our video case report describes a 34-year-old woman with refractory esophageal stricture that resulted from scar formation after endoscopic submucosal dissection of a fibroma. Esophagography showed the stricture located at the level of T6 with a …
