Abstract

Effect and prognosis of endoscopic balloon dilatation combined with submucosal triamcinolone acetonide on treating benign esophageal lesions were explored. This retrospective study included patients with esophageal stricture treated in the Department of Gastroenterology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from March 2012 to March 2015. Enrolled patients were divided into the treatment and control group depending on the therapy differences. Endoscopic balloon dilation combined with submucosal injection of triamcinolone acetonide was performed in the treatment group and the endoscopic balloon dilatation was performed in the control group. In addition, the treatment group was further divided into the <16- and >16-mm subgroup according to the degree of balloon dilatation. During 1‑year follow‑up, changes of esophageal stenosis, esophageal stenosis recurrence rate, postoperative complications and adverse reactions were observed and analyzed. The improvement of esophageal stenosis of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group at 2 and 4 months after operation, respectively (P=0.002, 0.013). The esophageal stenosis recurrence rate was 62.2 and 77.2% in the treatment and control group, respectively (P=0.027); the recurrence time of stenosis was 101.4±8.6 days in the treatment group and 75.4±5.2 days in the control group (P=0.006). Additionally, the recurrence time of esophageal stenosis was significantly shorter in the >16-mm subgroup compared with that of the <16-mm subgroup (P<0.001). Endoscopic balloon dilatation combined with local injection of triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of esophageal stricture had a better therapeutic effect than that of the simple balloon dilatation, which was more effective when the balloon dilatation was >16 mm. It could significantly prolong the recurrence time of esophageal stricture.
