Postoperative esophageal stricture of pharyngeal cancer can be treated by esophageal stricture dilatation and esophageal stent implantation.
Postoperative anastomotic scar stenosis of pharyngeal cancer can often lead to esophageal stenosis of patients, resulting in dysphagia and feeding disorder, which seriously affects the survival quality and survival period of patients. Patients can choose the following treatments according to their conditions:
1. Esophageal stenosis dilatation: balloon dilatation therapy under digital subtraction angiography guidance is one of the effective methods for clinical treatment of esophageal stenosis caused by anastomotic scar formation after surgery for esophageal malignant tumors, which has the advantages of safety, reliability, less trauma, less pain, high success rate, repeatable and so on. It is safe, reliable, less invasive, less painful, highly successful and repeatable. It can effectively alleviate the symptoms and improve the eating conditions and quality of life.
2. Esophageal stenting: it is a palliative treatment for esophageal stenosis, which is applicable to esophageal stenosis caused by advanced esophageal cancer that has lost the chance of surgery, scar stenosis caused by pharyngeal cancer after surgery or radiotherapy, as well as stenosis caused by tumor recurrence, anastomotic stenosis after surgery and chemical burns, etc., which can be stenting in order to improve the quality of life of patients.
For postoperative esophageal stenosis of pharyngeal cancer, appropriate treatment should be chosen under the guidance of specialized doctors according to their own conditions.
