Laparoscopic revision of gastrogastric stricture with a transoral circular stapler
Abstract
Most anastomotic strictures can be effectively managed by endoscopic dilations. Patients with severe strictures refractory to balloon dilations may require surgical revision. Revision of a strictured anastomosis (open or laparoscopic) is often technically demanding because of the severity of adhesion formation and difficulty in correctly identifying the anatomy. We discuss a laparoscopic method of safely revising an anastomotic stricture with a circular stapler.
