ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF REFRACTORY POST ANASTOMOTIC STRICTURES OF THE NEO-ESOPHAGUS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the endoscopic management of refractory post-anastomotic strictures of the neoesophagus, specifically in cases of esophageal replacement with colonic interposition. The video presents a case of a 51-year-old male with refractory anastomotic strictures successfully treated with endoscopic interventions. The procedure involved endoscopic incisional therapy and luminal-stenting for both proximal and distal strictures. The patient showed significant improvement in symptoms and is scheduled for a follow-up endoscopy. The video emphasizes that although dilation is commonly used, endoscopic incisional therapy and luminal-stenting can be effective options for refractory strictures. However, long-term data is needed to evaluate their efficacy. No credits were mentioned in the transcript. (199 words)
