Eight interventions proved effective in preventing post-operative stenosis

A systematic review and network meta-analysis identified eight effective interventions for preventing postoperative esophageal stenosis following endoscopic resection of superficial cancer. Notable approaches included the combination of polyglycolic acid with a steroid and botulinum toxin. These interventions also led to significant reductions in the number of endoscopic balloon dilatation sessions needed. Importantly, none of the interventions were associated with increased complications, underscoring their safety and efficacy.
