Gastrointestinal stenosis

There are many causes of gastrointestinal stenosis, such as inflammatory stenosis, postoperative anastomotic stenosis, tumorous stenosis, developmental abnormalities, dyskinesia (arrhythmia of cardia), and acid-base burns. Clinically, the above digestive tract strictures are the most common, so they often cause symptoms of dysphagia, and in severe cases cannot eat. The sacs, air sacs, and probes can be used to expand the stent, or a metal stent can be used to relieve the stenosis and ease the difficulty of eating.
