Gastric stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancers

Abstract

Sub-circumferental resection over 75% of the circumference by ESD in the body and angularis is not a risk factor for the occurrence of stricture. Prophylactic endoscopic balloon dilation was considered to be useful to avoid a stricture for the high risk group such as sub-circumferental resection over 90% in the prepylorus or cardia.
