Oesophageal Dilation Using Combined Fluoroscopy Guidance and Neonatal Scope: Overcoming Narrow Lumen Challenges in Paediatric Cases- Two Case Reports
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: This report highlights the management of two complex oesophageal strictures using an innovative combined endoscopic and fluoroscopic technique. The first case involves a 12-year-old boy with epidermolysis bullosa, where conventional endoscopic methods were inadequate. The second case details a premature infant with an anastomotic stricture post-oesophageal atresia repair. Both patients underwent successful dilation with a neonatal endoscope and fluoroscopic guidance, overcoming significant technical challenges. This approach demonstrates a promising alternative for handling severe and refractory oesophageal strictures.
