Surgical treatment of barrett’s esophagus mainly includes endoscopic surgery and surgery, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no best surgical method, but only the surgical method that best meets the patient’s condition, which is developed for the patient.
1. Endoscopic surgical treatment: endoscopic mucosal resection, is a relatively early treatment, widely used, less traumatic, less bleeding, faster recovery after surgery. But the risk of recurrence is higher.
Multi-ring ligation mucosal resection is a modified form of endoscopic endomy, with the advantages of less bleeding, shorter operation time and lower cost.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection is a surgical procedure developed from endoscopic mucosal resection. The main advantage is that it is not affected by the size of the lesion, and the postoperative recurrence rate is lower.
2. Surgery: Due to the large wound and slow recovery, it is no longer used.
Barrett’s esophagus belongs to pre-cancerous lesions, and the specific surgical method needs to be decided according to the patient’s specific lesions, there is no absolutely good surgical method; not all barrett’s esophagus needs surgical treatment, but also can be treated conservatively by internal medicine, and regular checkups. If the patient has any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department in time.
