Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of esophageal strictures is common after the total laryngectomy of head and neck cancer patients. While endoscopic techniques like dilatation by balloon or Salvary bougies are well established, risk factors and pathophysiology for development of refractory strictures are less well understood. OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk factors associated with occurrence and recurrence of total-laryngectomy-associated esophageal strictures in head and neck cancer patients. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively a cohort of 170 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, who underwent total laryngectomy between 2007 and 2017. The outcome measure was laryngectomy-associated proximal esophageal stricture needing an endoscopic dilatation by using a balloon or Savary dilators. RESULTS Of the 170 patients in the cohort, 32 (18.8%) developed strictures. Mean time between surgery and first endoscopic intervention was 24.4 months. Significant predictive factors were age ≥ 65 (p=0.017), nodal status N> 1 (p=0.003), continued alcohol abuse after surgery (p=0.005) and diabetes mellitus (p=0.005). In a subgroup, 17 of 32 patients developed refractory strictures and needed more than three dilatations to relieve dysphagia. Postoperative mean (p=0.016) and maximum (p=0.015) C-reactive protein (CRP) were predictive for refractory strictures. CONCLUSION Symptomatic strictures occurred in 18.8% of the cases. Age, nodal status N>1, continued alcohol abuse and diabetes mellitus were predictive factors. For refractory stenosis (>3 dilatations needed) mean and maximum postoperative CRP were predictive. This may indicate that systemic inflammatory response post-surgery is involved in the stricture formation process.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020471. [PMID: 36675401 PMCID: PMC9860878 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background It remains controversial whether endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is still appropriate for circumferential superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (SESCN), and few studies compared the short-term and long-term outcomes of ESD with radical surgery. Methods A total of 140 patients with SESCN who underwent ESD or surgery between February 2014 and October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics of patients, operative time, postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and quality of life (QOL) were compared between the ESD and surgery groups. The effect of different methods to prevent esophageal stenosis after ESD were analysed. Results Drinking, family history of cancer, macroscopic type, and intrapapillary capillary loop (IPCL) type were independent risk factors for deep submucosal invasion (SM ≥ 200 μm). Smoking and IPCL type were independent predictive factors for angiolymphatic invasion. The average operative time of ESD was significantly shorter than that of surgery (174.5 ± 51.16 min vs. 255.9 ± 88.18 min, p < 0.001). The incidence of perioperative complications in ESD group was significantly lower than that in surgery group (5.5% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.015). The ESD group had significantly better functional scale scores for emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and global health status, and lower rates of pain, dyspnoea, insomnia, appetite loss, diarrhoea, reflux, and trouble with taste than the surgery group. No significant difference in OS and RFS between ESD and surgery group. Conclusions ESD can significantly shorten the operative time and reduce perioperative complications. Additionally, on the premise of using appropriate measures to prevent postoperative stenosis, ESD can be the first choice for the treatment of SESCN, which could provide better QOL, and the long-term prognosis of ESD is no less than that of surgery.

THE TURKISH JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF TURKISH SOCIETY OF GASTROENTEROLOGY 2022; 33:312-319. [PMID: 35550539 PMCID: PMC9153302 DOI: 10.5152/tjg.2021.201032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although esophageal mucosal autograft prevents esophageal stricture after widespread endoscopic submucosal dissec- tion and has been reported as a new technique, it is relatively unproven in clinical practice. This prospective study was conducted to evaluate our experience using esophageal mucosal autograft to prevent strictures after widespread endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with widespread superficial esophageal lesions. METHODS Between October 2017 and June 2018, 15 patients with widespread superficial esophageal lesions were consecutively treated with widespread endoscopic submucosal dissection and then underwent esophageal mucosal autograft. The main outcomes measured included esophageal epithelialization and esophageal stricture. RESULTS The median longitudinal diameter of the widespread superficial esophageal lesions was 5.2 cm. All 15 patients were success- fully treated with widespread endoscopic submucosal dissection and esophageal mucosal autograft, and the median procedural time was 182 minutes. During follow-up (median, 23 months), esophageal epithelialization was found in 13 patients (86.7%), and 7 patients experienced esophageal stricture (46.7%). In those 7 patients, the esophageal strictures were successfully relieved after endoscopic bal- loon dilation or endoscopic radial incision. No complications related to endoscopic balloon dilation/endoscopic radial incision occurred. Additionally, local recurrence was found in 1 patient with poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and further surgical resection was performed. CONCLUSIONS Esophageal mucosal autograft appears to be an efficient approach to reconstructing local esophageal epithelium and might have a potential role in preventing esophageal stricture after widespread endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, as a new technique, it needs more improvement to enhance its role in preventing esophageal stricture after widespread endoscopic submucosal dissection.

[PMID: 34941174 PMCID: PMC8701733 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000028396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As larger-sized superficial esophageal neoplasms became candidates for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), post-ESD esophageal stricture has inevitably developed into a significant complication during long-term follow-up. METHOD The PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, as well as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang Database, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, were searched to identify all the appropriate studies published from January 2000 through October 2019. For risk factor assessment between postoperative stricture and control groups, pooled odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean differences (WMD) estimation was done. All meta-analytical procedures were conducted by using Stata version 15.1 software. RESULTS The results showed that 11 studies with 2248 patients (284 structure cases and 1964 controls) were eligible for this meta-analysis. Statistical results indicated 6 substantial risk factors: lesion characteristics involving the upper third of the esophagus (OR 1.51, [1.02-2.25]), macroscopic type of IIa/IIc (OR 2.76, [1.55-4.92]), tumor depth of invasion above m1 (OR 7.47, [3.31-16.86]), and m2 (OR 12.67, [4.00-40.10]), longitudinal length (WMD 13.75 mm, [7.76-19.74]), circumferential diameter (WMD 10.87 mm, [8.13-13.60]), and circumferential range >3/4 (OR 38.17, [9.94-146.52]). Each additional 10% of the circumferential range increased the risk of stricture by 149% (OR 9282.46, [978.14-88089.35]). CONCLUSIONS Six risk factors were assessed to have a key role in the elevated risk levels of post-ESD esophageal stricture. The results can help doctors identify patients with increased risk and thus can guide management of the adequate period of surveillance after ESD and take available approaches of stricture prevention.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is gradually turning into the standard treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC), however, the long-term outcomes have hardly ever been reported outside Japan. Method We consecutively recruited patients with SESCC who had received ESD treatment at E-Da Hospital. The demographics, pathological characteristics, and Lugol staining background pattern (type A or B: none or < 10 small Lugol-voiding lesions [LVLs]; type C or D: > 10 small or multiform LVLs) were collected, and then correlated to outcomes and survival. Results Total of 229 lesions were enrolled and the mean lesion size was 3.28 ± 1.69 (range 1–10) cm. 72% of the lesions had a type C-D Lugol staining background pattern. After ESD, the en bloc and R0 resection rates were 93.9% and 83.5%, respectively. Forty-nine subjects developed complications, including six (2.6%) with major bleeding, two (0.9%) with perforation, and 41 (17.9%) with strictures. Pathological staging showed that 19 cases had deep submucosal cancer invasion and subsequently received adjuvant therapies. During a mean follow-up period of 52.6 (range 3–146) months, 41 patients developed metachronous recurrence. The patients with a type C-D Lugol staining background pattern were associated with a higher risk of recurrence than those with few LVLs (log-rank P = 0.019). The 10-year survival rate was more than 90%, and only eight patients died of ESCC. Conclusion ESD has excellent long-term outcomes but a high risk of metachronous recurrence. The Lugol staining pattern over the background mucosa could offer the risk stratification of metachronous recurrence.

Abstract
Background This research aimed at investigating the safety and efficacy of autologous esophageal mucosa (AEM) with polyglycolic acid (PGA) transplantation and temporary stent implantation (TSI) in preventing esophageal stenosis (ES) after early esophageal cancer (EC) surgery. Methods Between April 2019 and October 2020, patients scheduled for circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) were prospectively recruited. After ESD, autologous esophageal mucosal patches (MPs) were constructed on the absorbable PGA felt. Then, the felt was structured onto a covered metal mesh stent (CMMS) and attached to the ulcer surface. The stents were removed 6-8 weeks after the operation. The occurrence of ES and adverse events was observed and analyzed. Results Data from 25 patients were analyzed. In total, 14 patients (56%) had no stenosis during an average follow-up of 10.2 months, and 11 patients (44%) suffered strictures at a mean interval of 63.73 days after the ESD procedure. Stent migration occurred in 2 patients. No other complications, including perforations, bleeding, or wound infections, occurred. The median of endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) sessions was 2.16 (range, 0-14). There showed a higher post-ESD stricture rate in patients with lesions located in the middle-lower esophagus (P<0.05). More transplanted MPs may reduce the occurrence of ES. Conclusions AEM with PGA transplantation and TSI is a safe and effective approach of preventing ES and improving the life quality after circumferential ESD.

Efficacy of oral steroid gel in preventing esophageal stricture after extensive endoscopic submucosal dissection: a randomized controlled trial. Surg Endosc 2021; 36:402-412. [PMID: 33492500 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08296-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Esophageal stricture is a distressing issue for patients with early esophageal cancer following extensive endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and the current steroid-based approaches are unsatisfactory for stricture prophylaxis. We evaluated the efficacy of oral hydrocortisone sodium succinate and aluminum phosphate gel (OHA) for stricture prophylaxis after extensive ESD. METHODS Patients undergoing > 3/4 circumferential ESD were randomized to either the endoscopic loco-regional triamcinolone acetonide injection (ETI) plus oral prednisone group or the OHA group. The primary endpoint was incidence of esophageal stricture, and the secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs) and endoscopic balloon dilations (EBDs). RESULTS The incidence of esophageal stricture in OHA group (per-protocol analysis, 9.4%, 3/32; intention-to-treat analysis, 12.1%, 4/33) was significantly less than that of control group (per-protocol analysis, 35.5%, 11/31, P = 0.013; intention-to-treat analysis, 39.4%, 13/33, P = 0.011). Two sessions of EBD were necessary to release all strictures in the OHA group, while the similar EBDs (median 2, range 1-4) for 11 of the control. Operation-related AEs included infection (control vs. OHA group = 9.7% vs. 31.3%, P = 0.034), operation-related hypokalemia (19.4% vs. 31.3%, P = 0.278), perforation (3.2% vs. 3.1%), post-ESD hemorrhage (6.5% vs. 0%), and cardiac arrhythmia (0% vs. 6.3%). Steroid-related AEs included steroid-related hypokalemia (16.1% vs. 25%) and bone fracture (3.2% vs. 0%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that OHA was an independent protective factor for stricture (OR 0.079; 95%CI 0.011, 0.544; P = 0.01) and mucosal defect > 11/12 circumference was an independent risk factor (OR 49.91; 95%CI 6.7, 371.83; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS OHA showed significantly better efficacy in preventing esophageal stricture after > 3/4 circumferential ESD compared to ETI plus oral prednisone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Locoregional steroid injection prevents post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) esophageal stricture, but histological changes that occur following steroid injection in the human esophagus are unclear. This study investigated the histopathological characteristics caused by locoregional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection using human esophagectomy specimens. METHODS From January 2014 to December 2019, among 297 patients (373 lesions) who underwent esophageal ESD, 13 patients who underwent additional esophagectomy after ESD were examined. Seven patients (TA group) with wide excisions were injected with TA after ESD and another six patients (Non-TA group) with smaller tumors were not injected with TA. The clinical background of these patients and histopathological features of ESD ulcer scar obtained from esophagectomy specimens were retrospectively investigated. RESULTS The circumferential rate of ESD excision was more than three-quarters in all cases in the TA group, whereas it was less than three-quarters in the Non-TA group. No other statistical difference in the clinical background was found between the two groups. The subepithelial fibrous tissue of the ESD ulcer scar in the TA group was significantly thinner than that in the Non-TA group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the thickness of the regenerated epithelium and muscularis propria layer of the ESD ulcer scar. CONCLUSIONS Histological finding of thinning of the subepithelial fibrous tissue of ESD ulcer scar in the human esophagus after TA injection was obtained. This suggests that TA suppresses the proliferation of the fibrous tissue of the subepithelial layer to help prevent esophageal stricture after widespread ESD in the human esophagus.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Benign strictures of the esophagus, caused by various causes, are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although endoscopic dilation is still the standard and first-line therapy, complex and difficult esophageal strictures are still encountered and remain a challenge to endoscopists. The main scope of this review article is to offer a closer look at the different endoscopic modalities and approaches to complex and difficult esophageal strictures. RECENT FINDINGS In the past few years, endoscopic dilatation, stents including self-expandable and biodegradable types, incisional therapy, and pharmacological treatments have been utilized in the prevention and management of refractory and recurrent esophageal strictures. Meanwhile, more recent techniques such as the BougieCap, percutaneous transgastric endoscopic myotomy, through-the-scope stents, radial incision and cutting, etc. have been developed as alternative methods. A number of studies utilizing these newer methods have shown promising results in the treatment of complex and difficult esophageal strictures. SUMMARY Endoscopic treatment of refractory, complex and difficult esophageal strictures still remains to be a challenge for many endoscopists. While balloon or bougie dilatation still remains to be the first-line approach, other techniques have emerged as treatment alternatives and may become adjunct therapy to endoscopic dilatation.
