How can cause esophagus stricture

summary

The kid next door is so cute, but a few days ago his parents said he was diagnosed with esophageal stricture. This worries us all. Then I asked a friend of mine who was a doctor. He introduced me some information about esophageal stenosis. I hope it can be useful to the children next door. Let's share it.

How can cause esophagus stricture

First, traumatic esophageal stenosis. The most common cause is chemical corrosion injury caused by strong acid or alkali, and scar stenosis is formed after healing. In addition, esophageal foreign bodies or iatrogenic injuries are rare, but they also occur from time to time.

Second, esophagitis causes stenosis. Esophageal mucosa is often stimulated by acid and bile reflux, which can cause mucosal ulcer, inflammation, granulation, scar formation, contraction and stenosis.

Third: corrosive substances in the process of entering the esophagus, the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach caused different distribution, varying in depth burns, the degree of burns can be from esophageal mucosal congestion and edema, epithelial shedding to the depth of the muscle layer, ulcers and even involving the whole layer of the esophagus, leading to perforation.

matters needing attention

In the past, only surgery was used to treat benign esophageal stricture, that is, dilation of membranous diaphragm by esophagoscope. If the diaphragm is tough, the narrow segment of the esophagus should be removed through thoracotomy, and then the end-to-end anastomosis of the esophagus should be performed. The patients suffered a lot, the cost was high, and there were many postoperative complications.
