Rectal stricture is a well recognized complication following anterior resection. It is traditionally managed with metal dilators or resection. This paper describes the use of balloon dilatation for benign anastomotic rectal strictures. Eight patients were included in the trial. Only one dilatation was necessary in four patients while the remaining four patients required further dilatation for relief of symptoms. The mean diameter of the stricture increased from 7.2 mm to 17.0 mm post-dilatation. There were no complications associated with the procedure. Balloon dilatation is a safe and effective method of treating benign anastomotic rectal strictures.
直肠狭窄是前切除术之后一种广为人知的并发症。传统上采用金属扩张器或切除术来处理。本文描述了球囊扩张术用于治疗良性吻合口直肠狭窄的情况。8名患者纳入该试验。4名患者仅需一次扩张，而其余4名患者需要进一步扩张以缓解症状。扩张后狭窄的平均直径从7.2毫米增加到17.0毫米。该操作未出现并发症。球囊扩张术是治疗良性吻合口直肠狭窄的一种安全有效的方法。
