Abstract

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS:  Endoscopic local steroid injection (LSI) has been used to prevent esophageal strictures after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial esophageal neoplasms (SENs). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LSI therapy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:  From May 2007 to September 2014, at four institutions, 40 consecutive patients with SENs were treated with ESD that left a mucosal defect of more than three-quarters of the esophageal circumference. Two patients who underwent esophagectomy after ESD were excluded, and 38 patients were analyzed. The incidence of post-ESD strictures and adverse events associated with LSI were retrospectively investigated.

RESULTS:  Prophylactic LSI was administered in 28 patients (LSI group), and not administered in 10 patients (Non-prevention group). Post-ESD stricture rates were significantly lower in the LSI group (43 %) than in the Non-prevention group (90 %) (

CONCLUSION:  LSI is useful for preventing post-ESD strictures, but it appears to increase the risk of perforation in cases of EBD.
