Intralesional steroid injection therapy in the management of resistant gastrointestinal strictures.

Authors:

World J Gastrointest Endosc 2010 Feb;2(2):61-8

Esophageal strictures are a problem frequently encountered by gastroenterologists. Dilation has been the customary treatment for benign esophageal strictures, and dilation techniques have advanced over the years. Depending on their characteristics and the response to treatment, esophageal strictures can be classified into two types: 1, simple (Schatzki rings, webs, peptic injury, and following sclerotherapy) - these are easily amenable to dilation, with a low recurrence rate after initial treatment; and 2, complex (caused by caustic ingestion, radiation injury, anastomotic strictures, and photodynamic therapy) - these are difficult to dilate and are associated with higher recurrence rates. Refractory strictures are those in which it is not possible to relieve the anatomic restriction successfully up to a diameter of 14 mm over five sessions at 2-weekly intervals, due to cicatricial luminal compromise or fibrosis; and recurrent strictures are those in which it is not possible to maintain a satisfactory luminal diameter for 4 wk once the target diameter of 14 mm has been achieved. There are no standard recommendations for the management of refractory strictures. The various techniques used include intralesional steroid injection combined with dilation; endoscopic incisional therapy, with or without dilation; placement of self-expanding metal stents, Polyflex stents, or biodegradable stents; self-bougienage; and endoscopic surgery. This review discusses the indications, technique, results, and complications of the use of intralesional steroid injections combined with dilation and endoscopic incisional therapy with dilation in refractory strictures.

Department of Surgery, Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu, Shiga, Japan.

Body weight loss and poor nutritional status are frequently observed after esophageal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to pilot an investigation on the impact of home enteral tube feeding supplementation (HES) for up to 3 months after esophageal cancer surgery. We retrospectively reviewed consecutive 67 esophageal cancer patients who underwent esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction. Read More

J Surg Case Rep 2022 Jul 30;2022(7):rjac218. Epub 2022 Jul 30.

Department of Surgery, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan.

Treatment strategies for corrosive esophagitis include conservative treatment, such as balloon dilatation at the stenosis site, and surgical treatment. Esophagectomy for corrosive esophagitis is usually performed through the transthoracic or transhiatal approaches. Herein, we report a case of corrosive esophagitis treated with thoracoscopic esophagectomy with the patient in the semi-prone position. Read More

Esophagus 2022 Aug 2. Epub 2022 Aug 2.

Department of Endoscopy, Hiroshima University Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan.

Background: The presence of post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) scars renders complete metachronous superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma resection difficult. We aimed to identify the risk factors for incomplete resection of metachronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma close to the post-ESD scar by ESD.

Methods: We enrolled patients who developed post-ESD superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma at Hiroshima University Hospital between January 2006 and March 2020. Read More
