Terapia incisional endoscópica como alternativa terapéutica en estenosis esofágica anastomótica refractaria a tratamiento convencional / Incisional endoscopic therapy as a therapeutic alternative in esophageal anastomotic strictures refractory to conventional treatment

RESUMEN

Las estenosis esofágicas anastomóticas son una causa no desdeñable de estenosis benigna y disfagia secundaria. Cabe destacar que son estenosis a menudo complejas, con un gran componente isquémico-fibrótico y, por tanto, difíciles de tratar por su recurrencia a pesar de dilatación endoscópica. En este tipo de pacientes, aparece como alternativa terapéutica la terapia incisional endoscópica, que permite eliminar el anillo estenótico, con un buen perfil de eficacia y seguridad. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con estenosis esofágica postquirúrgica refractaria a tratamiento con dilatación y prótesis endoscópica, tratado finalmente de forma satisfactoria con terapia incisional

ABSTRACT

Esophageal anastomotic strictures are a non-negligible cause of benign strictures and secondary dysphagia. It should be noted that these are often complex strictures, with a large ischemic-fibrotic component. Thus, they are difficult to treat due to their recurrence, despite endoscopic dilation. Endoscopic incisional therapy appears as a therapeutic alternative in this type of patient, which allows the elimination of the stenotic ring, with a good efficacy and safety profile. We present the case of a patient with postoperative esophageal strictures refractory to treatment with dilation and endoscopic prosthesis, who was finally satisfactorily treated with incisional therapy
