Abstract

Gastrointestinal benign stricture is a common disease with symptoms of dysphagia, abdominal pain and difficult defecation, which severely impair the quality of life for patients. Endoscopic intervention is the first-line treatment, and the available methods include balloon dilation, local drug injection and stent insertion, etc. Endoscopic incision was first used for the treatment of Schatzki's rings, and later it was used for the treatment of other gastrointestinal benign strictures, and the promising results were achieved.

消化道良性狭窄是临床常见病、多发病,患者可出现吞咽困难、腹痛、排便困难等症状,严重影响其生活质量。内镜治疗是消化道良性狭窄的首选治疗方式,常用的方法包括球囊扩张、局部药物注射、支架置入等。内镜下切开术最初用于先天性食管环的治疗,后将其应用于其他原因所致的消化道良性狭窄并获得了较满意的疗效。.
