Prevention and management of esophageal stricture after esophageal ESD: 10 years of experience in a single medical center.

Background/purpose: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to deal with local early esophageal neoplasm, although post-ESD esophageal stricture is a major delayed complication of esophageal ESD greatly influencing the patient's quality of life. This retrospective study was conducted to analyze the esophageal stricture after esophageal ESD while determining further treatment and outcome of stricture management.

Methods: From 2009 to 2021, we reviewed all patients who underwent ESD for esophageal squamous cell neoplasia in Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital.

Endoscopic Retrieval of Mis-Swallowed Table Spoon.

Mis-swallowed foreign body is a common scenario for endoscopy intervention. Although a long object is rarely seen in our clinical setting, limited published articles could be found for proper retrieval. We hence report a 30-year-old female who mis-swallowed a long table spoon, which was retrieved by a snare from the duodenal second portion with conventional endoscopy.
