Abstract
Abstract
Background
Strictures are a common complication for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Endoscopic stricturotomy (ESt) is a novel procedure for treatment of these strictures.
Methods
A chart review was performed for patients with strictures who underwent ESt.
Results
Eleven patients were included in the study and the total number of strictures treated was 12. The mean length of the strictures was 10.25 ± 4.36 mm. Technical success was achieved in 92% (n = 11) of the procedures. Postprocedural bleeding occurred in 9% (n = 1) of patients, and none of the patients had complications of infection or perforation.
Conclusions
ESt is a safe technique with high technical success rate.
Lay Summary
Strictures are a common complication for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), traditionally managed with either surgery or endoscopic balloon dilatation. This manuscript describes endoscopic stricturotomy as a safe and effective method for managing IBD-associated strictures.
