Innovative endoscopic alternatives for the conservative management of recurrent/refractory esophageal strictures in children: A case series
After an overview about the historically applied adjuvant therapies, we aim to update the common knowledge with our recent experience of these new minimally invasive options for pediatric REES and refractory ES in three exemplary cases, focusing on their mid-term effectiveness and safety for the purpose of maintain the patency after standard endoscopic dilations and avoiding or, at least, postponing an invasive replacement surgery.
