Esophageal stent ligation is a type of esophageal stenting procedure that is performed on patients who have a long narrowed portion of the esophagus.
An esophageal stent is a surgical instrument used to open the narrowed esophagus, and is fitted to ensure that the patient can regain or partially regain the ability to eat. The main cause of esophageal stenosis is often esophageal tumors. When the esophagus is squeezed by the tumor, a narrowing is formed, which makes it impossible for the patient to eat, and the patient is not able to get nutritional supplements.
Therefore, an esophageal stent is needed to open the narrowed esophagus. However, the length of the esophagus is long, and some narrowed areas cannot be opened by one stent, so two stents are used, and the two stents must be connected to each other. Therefore, esophageal condylomata are used because the narrowed area of the esophagus is too long, and therefore condylomata techniques are needed to help open the esophagus and restore or partially restore the function of eating.
Prognostic measures after completion of the esophageal stent procedure should be noted that patients should be placed in a lying position with their head slightly elevated after the procedure to prevent the stent from falling out before dilation. In addition, patients should not eat within 2 hours after the operation so that food will not be blocked by the trachea and cause discomfort. Patients can drink more hot water for a period of time after the operation, so that the stent can be expanded to the best state to achieve a better surgical effect.
Patients should relax, actively treat the primary disease to prevent recurrence of the disease, esophageal recurrence of stenosis, regular recheck of the esophagus, once there is a recurrence of the phenomenon should be timely medical treatment.
