Polyglycolic acid sheet application to prevent esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

摘要

Background and study aim: Esophageal stricture following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can be a serious complication in patients with large mucosal defects. This preliminary study examined the efficacy of using a polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet with fibrin glue for the prevention of esophageal stricture after ESD.
