The treatment of postoperative anastomotic stenosis (AS) after resection of colorectal cancer is challenging. Endoscopic balloon dilation is used to treat stenosis in such cases, but some patients do not show improvement even after multiple balloon dilations. Magnetic compression technique (MCT) has been used for gastrointestinal anastomosis, but its use for the treatment of postoperative AS after colorectal cancer surgery has rarely been reported.
We report a 72-year-old man who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer and ileostomy one year ago. An ileostomy closure was prepared six months ago, but colonoscopy revealed a narrowing of the rectal anastomosis. Endoscopic balloon dilation was performed three times, but colonoscopy showed no significant improvement in stenosis. The AS was successfully treated using MCT.
MCT is a minimally invasive method that can be used for the treatment of postoperative AS after colorectal cancer surgery.
结直肠癌切除术后吻合口狭窄(AS)的治疗具有挑战性。内镜下球囊扩张术用于治疗此类狭窄,但一些患者即使经过多次球囊扩张仍无改善。磁压缩技术(MCT)已用于胃肠道吻合,但它用于结直肠癌手术后AS的治疗鲜有报道。
我们报告一名72岁男性,他于一年前接受了根治性结直肠癌切除术和回肠造口术。六个月前准备关闭回肠造口,但结肠镜检查发现直肠吻合口狭窄。进行了三次内镜下球囊扩张,但结肠镜检查显示狭窄无明显改善。使用MCT成功治疗了AS。
MCT是一种微创方法,可用于治疗结直肠癌手术后的AS。
