Originally, I thought that using stent to treat grandfather's esophageal cancer would have a very good effect, but I didn't expect the side effects of bad sticking syndrome. There are many side effects of using this method. Let's take a look at the side effects of esophageal cancer stent surgery.

What are the side effects of esophageal cancer stent surgery

One is that stent expansion is not good, which is rare. It is often caused by the hard tissue of the diseased esophagus or the re retraction of the esophagus after expansion. In this case, balloon dilatation can often achieve very good results.

Second, it is caused by local mucosa, fibrous tissue hyperplasia and tumor tissue infiltration, especially those who do not cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after operation. For postoperative restenosis, a longer covered stent can be selected.

Third: poor adherence syndrome: the main performance is the gap between the stent implantation and the esophageal wall can not be completely covered, the food residue retention causes local infection, swallowing pain, belching can smell the obvious smell of rotten food, these residues need to be removed in time, otherwise the harm is persistent.

matters needing attention
