Abstract

To investigate the efficacy of gastroscopic treatment in the treatment of membranous duodenal stenosis. We performed a retrospective study of 6 patients with membranous duodenal stenosis, aging from 7days to 37months, who underwent gastroscopic balloon dilatation in a children's hospital between January 2012 and December 2013. All surgical procedures of balloon dilatation were performed under direct gastroscopic vision. The balloon dilators with diameter 8mm and 10mm for neonates and children aged over one month, respectively, were placed through the foramen of the membranous stenosis. The septum in the membranous stenosis was gradually extended by increasing diameter of the balloon dilator. The residual septum was removed by gastroscopic electrocauterization. The membranous stenosis in duodenum of all children was successfully expanded by gastroscopic balloon dilatation, and only one case with residual septum received gastroscopic electrocauterization. No complications such as bleeding, intestinal perforation, etc., were observed. Postoperative radiography using iodine-based contrast media showed that the gastrointestinal tract was unobstructed. During a follow-up period ranging from 3 to 24months, all patients ate normally wi...Continue Reading
