Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "endoscopic dilation for stenosis after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection: knack and pitfalls".When a post-resection ulcer is expected to involve more than three-fourths of the esophageal circumference, it is advisable to consider preventive measures against stenosis, such as submucosal triamcinolone injection, as such lesions are associated with a high risk of stenosis following endoscopic resection.In the case of stricture development, endoscopic balloon dilation (ebd) is performed.To prevent perforation during ebd, it is recommended to use a 12-15 mm balloon and gradually increase the pressure to 8 atm over 4 min.For severe stenosis, a 10-12mm balloon is used.In the event of a perforation during ebd, fasting and administrating antibiotics are necesssary.If conservative treatment fails to show any improvement, surgical drainage should be considered.Type of adverse events/number of patients.Postoperative stenosis- 3 patients.Perforation- 1 patient.This literature article requires 2 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: (b)(6).(b)(6).There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
