Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, two experts discuss the use of stents in their practice. One expert mentions that they primarily use endoscopic validation and only use stents in a few cases. They prefer fully covered metal stents over partially covered ones due to ease of removal. They discuss the effectiveness of endoscopic validation and stricturotomy for anastomotic strictures and state that surgery may be more appropriate for primary long strictures. They also mention ongoing clinical trials to compare different treatments. The experts discuss the use of dextrose for controlling bleeding and the use of setons for fistulas. They also mention the use of MRI over EUS for mapping fistulas. The session ends with a discussion on using stents for perforations in IBD patients.
