“…With advances in endoscopic intervention, a variety of new techniques have been developed. For examples the injection of corticosteroids into the stenotic portion under endoscopic guidance has been used to prevent stenosis by blocking the progression of fibrosis [20,21] . An endoscopic incision of the stenotic wall has also been attempted [21] .…”

“…For examples the injection of corticosteroids into the stenotic portion under endoscopic guidance has been used to prevent stenosis by blocking the progression of fibrosis [20,21] . An endoscopic incision of the stenotic wall has also been attempted [21] . However, metallic stents are not suitable for benign stenotic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract because they cannot be easily removed, and therefore may cause serious unavoidable complications during long-term use.…”

“…Numa análise de 500 casos de estenose benigna de esôfago em nosso serviço, concluiu-se que a estenose cáustica propiciou o maior índice de falha terapêutica conservadora, ou seja, apenas com dilatações, em relação as demais etiologias de estenose benigna do esôfago 20 . A aplicação dos corticoesteróides quando a estenose esofágica já está estabelecida tem merecido destaque nos últimos anos 4,8,10,14,15,16,21 . Não foram encontrados na literatura estudos randomizados com o uso de corticoesteróides.…”

“…Singer et al investigated the expression and distribution of COX-1 and COX-2 in the normal ileum, normal colon, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's colitis, and Crohn's ileitis (10). In both the small intestine and colon, COX-1 is expressed in the lower crypt, but its expression is lost as the epithelial cells differentiate and migrate higher in the crypt.…”

“…Serial bougienage and acid suppression are the mainstays of therapy for benign esophageal strictures (6 -8). For refractory strictures, intralesional steroid injection is effective in reducing the need for repeated dilation (9,10). More troublesome strictures may ultimately require surgical resection (11).…”
