Combined endoscopic stenting and laparoscopic stent fixation for benign gastric tube stricture after esophagectomy: a case report
2023
Overview
Background
There are several options for the treatment of gastrointestinal stricture, including endoscopic stent placement and bypass surgery. However, a benign stricture is difficult to manage in a reconstructed gastric tube in the thoracic cavity owing to the technical difficulty of bypass surgery, and the possibility of stent migration.
Case presentation
A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for treatment for her inability to eat. She had undergone video-assisted subtotal esophagectomy with retromediastinal gastric tube reconstruction 7 years earlier. At the current admission, there was a severely dilated gastric tube in the thoracic cavity with a soft stricture immediately anterior to the spine. Conservative therapy was ineffective; therefore, endoscopic stenting was performed. However, the stent migrated to the upper side of the stricture because the stricture was mild, and the stent was not fixed in the gastric tube. Next, endoscopic stent placement followed by laparoscopic stent fixation was performed. The stent was patent and worked well, and the patient’s body weight increased. However, the stent collapsed 2 years later, with recurrence of symptoms. Stent-in-stent placement with an over-the-scope clip was performed, and the second stent was also patent and worked well.
Conclusions
Laparoscopic stent fixation with endoscopic stent placement could be an effective option for patients with a benign stricture in the reconstructed gastric tube.
