Endoscopic Treatment of Proximal Esophageal Stricture: A Case Report
Abstract Text A 60-year-old male is under our care for endoscopic management of a proximal esophageal stricture, resulting from caustic ingestion 18 years prior. In the last year, we have initiated treatment of the stricture by incising the fibrotic tissue using a needle-knife papillotome, followed by pneumatic dilation up to 20 mm. Post-procedure, the patient is prescribed a short course of oral budesonide gel. This monthly treatment regimen ensures the patient's ability to maintain a regular diet and avoid parenteral nutrition.
