This state-of-the-art review examines advanced techniques for managing esophageal strictures in children, including adjunctive therapies like steroid injection and mitomycin-C application alongside newer modalities such as electro-incisional therapy and vacuum-assisted closure. The article provides guidance for multidisciplinary teams treating complex refractory cases.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Esophageal dilations in children are performed by several pediatric and adult professionals. We aim to summarize improvements in safety and new technology used for the treatment of complex and refractory strictures, including triamcinolone injection, endoscopic electro-incisional therapy, topical mitomycin-C application, stent placement, functional lumen imaging probe assisted dilation, and endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure in the pediatric population.
