  1. General Principles Of Treatment

  2. Treatment Goals • To relieve the symptoms of Benign (Peptic Stricture) • To improve patient’s nutritional status.

  3. Pharmacological • Endoscopic • surgical

  4. Pretreatment Classification • Consider severity of the condition and complications following treatment • preoperative evaluation, preoperative and pretreatment assessment of the patient, as well as the character of the stricture.

  5. Medical Care • more emphasis has been placed on mechanical dilatation • coexistent esophagitis has been relatively ignored • several studies have demonstrated that aggressive acid suppression using PPIs is extremely beneficial in the initial treatment, as well as long-term management.

  6. Medical Care • Studies have shown that aggressive acid-suppression therapy with PPIs both improve esophagitis and decrease the need for subsequent esophageal dilatation • PPI therapy has to be individualized, depending on the level of reduction in acid exposure as assessed by 24-hour pH monitoring.

  7. PPI’s Omeprazole (Prilosec) Decreases gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the parietal cell H+/K+ -ATP pump. Adult : 20 mg PO qam 30 min ac; may increase bid Lansoprazole (Prevacid) Suppresses gastric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting H+/K+- ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. Adult : 30 mg PO qam 30 min ac; may increase to 30 mg bid Rabeprazole (Aciphex) Decreases gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the parietal cell H+/K+ ATP pump. Adult :20 mg PO qam 30 min ac; may increase to 20 mg PO bid if necessary

  8. PPI’s Pantoprazole (Protonix) Decreases gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the parietal cell H+/K+ ATP pump. Adult : 40 mg PO qam 30 min ac; may increase to bid Esomeprazole magnesium (Nexium) S-isomer of omeprazole. Inhibits gastric acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ -ATPase enzyme system at secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. Adult : 20-40 mg PO qd for 4-8 wk

  9. Surgical Care (endoscopic and surgical modalities ) • choice of dilator and technique is dependent on many factors, the most important being stricture characteristics • factors, including patient tolerance, operator preference, and experience. • dilatation therapy should be tailored individually

  10. Endoscopic Therapy • Three types: • mercury field bougies • polyvinyl bougies • balloon dilators • Usually the physician passes a series of dilators or gradually increases the diameter of the balloon to stretch out the stricture. • complications such as perforation and bleeding occurred in approximately 0.5% of all esophageal dilation procedures

  11. Surgical Therapy • Conservative antireflux surgery with classic fundoplication has been employed for peptic stricture patients with a long-term success rate ranging from 65 to 90%. • laparoscopic approach report a 12% failure rate, whereas others demonstrate significantly higher recurrence rates (25%). • esophageal lengthening gastroplasty of the Collies-Nissen type or Collies-Belsey Mark IV type have been proposed

  12. More mutilating surgical procedures, incorporating partial gastrectomy, vagotomy with or without biliary diversion, or duodenal switch procedures have been introduced. • Esophageal resection has been proposed in patients with severe stricture, poor contractility, or high-grade dysplasia.

  13. Non-Pharmacologic Diet • Patients are told to avoid fatty and spicy foods, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, and peppermint. • Patients should eat smaller meals, avoid eating in a hurried fashion, and chew their food well. • Patients should be encouraged not to eat at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. • Weight reduction should be encouraged. • Ill-fitting dentures or poor dentition should be corrected if possible.
