PERORAL ENDOSCOPIC TWO WAY TUNNELING AND LUMEN RESTORATION FOR COMPLETE ESOPHAGEAL OBSTRUCTION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a case of complete esophageal obstruction following a laryngectomy, where a patient underwent a paroreal endoscopic two-way tunneling procedure to restore the esophageal lumen using third space techniques. The procedure involved making mucosal incisions and creating a tunnel to bypass the obstruction, followed by the placement of a self-expanding metallic stent. Post-procedure, the patient was able to ingest food normally and underwent follow-up dilatations to manage scarring. This approach was successful in resolving the esophageal obstruction, providing a therapeutic option for cases with obstructions greater than 3 cm in length post-laryngectomy.
