Background and Aims
Stenosis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is common. Endoscopic balloon dilation is first-line therapy but often requires multiple sessions and may fail. Surgical conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is effective but invasive. Endoscopic tunneled stricturotomy offers a less-invasive alternative. We compared clinical success, adverse events, and length of stay between endoscopic and surgical treatments for post-LSG stenosis.
Methods
This retrospective, matched cohort study included patients treated with endoscopic stricturotomy (ENDO) group or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass conversion (SURG) group, matched 1:1 by age, sex, body mass index, time from LSG, and previous treatments. The Fisher exact and t tests were used.
Results
In 24 patients (12/group), the rate of adverse events was lower in ENDO (0% vs 41.7%, P = .04). Length of stay was shorter in ENDO (1.21 vs 2.57 days, P = .03). Clinical success was 83.3% (ENDO) versus 100% (SURG) (P = .48).
Conclusions
Endoscopic stricturotomy is a safe, effective alternative for refractory post-LSG stenosis.
背景与目的:腹腔镜袖式胃切除术(LSG)后狭窄是常见的。内窥镜球囊扩张术是一线治疗,但通常需要多次治疗,而且可能会失败。手术转换为Roux-en-Y胃旁路术(RYGB)是有效的,但有侵入性。内镜隧道狭窄切开术提供了一种侵入性较小的选择。我们比较了内镜和手术治疗后lsg狭窄的临床成功率、不良事件(ae)和住院时间(LOS)。方法:这项回顾性、匹配队列研究纳入了内镜下狭窄切开术(ENDO)或RYGB转换(SURG)治疗的患者,按年龄、性别、BMI、LSG治疗时间和既往治疗进行1:1匹配。使用费雪精确检验和t检验。结果:24例患者(12例/组)中,ENDO的AE发生率较低(0% vs 41.7%, P = 0.04)。ENDO组的LOS较短(1.21天vs 2.57天,P = 0.03)。临床成功率为83.3% (ENDO) vs 100% (SURG) (P = 0.48)。结论:内镜下狭窄切开术是治疗难治性lsg后狭窄的一种安全、有效的方法。

Background and Aims
We present an endoscopic technique for the creation or revision of upper GI anastomoses using endoscopic ultrasound guidance, sequential deployment of lumen-apposing metal stents, and septotomy after tract maturation. We also present our case series of 4 patients in whom we have successfully used this technique for both reversal of postbariatric surgical anatomy and management of anastomotic strictures.
Methods
Three patients with previous bariatric surgery underwent reversal of their gastric anatomy with endoscopic anastomosis creation, and 1 patient with a duodenal anastomotic stricture underwent anastomotic revision using our sequential lumen-apposing metal stent and septotomy technique.
Results
There were no immediate procedure-related adverse events in any of the cases. All procedures achieved technical and at least partial clinical success.
Conclusions
Our technique is safe, effective, and feasible for durable endoscopic anastomosis creation or revision in appropriately selected patients with prior upper GI surgery.
