Endoscopic Incision Therapy by Needle Knife Papillotome in the Treatment of Postoperative Anastomotic Stenosis
Abstract
- Endoscopic incision therapy was applied to two patients with postoperative anast-omotic stenosis. Radial diathermy incision was performed by needle knife papillot-ome using cutting current. Tne anastomotic stenosis was characteristic of short fibrotic segment and frequent restenosis after dilatation. An sufficient caliber and smooth, supple wall at the site of the stenosis was produced by incisional therapy by needle knife papillotome using cutting current. Clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings were improved after endoscopic incision. It is concluded that endoscopic incisional therapy seems to be safe and effective method for the treatment of anastomotic stenosis after gastrointestinal operation.
