How to treat rectal adenocarcinoma anastomotic stenosis

Anastomotic stenosis of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of rectum may be related to postoperative scar formation, and may be treated by medical treatment, laser treatment or surgical treatment.

1. Medical treatment

With the help of gastroscope or enteroscope, a dilation balloon is placed at the site of anastomotic stenosis, and then it is expanded to expand the stenosis site, thus improving the stenosis.

2. Laser treatment

uses a laser cutter to evaporate and cut the tissue at the stenosis site, which can help restore intestinal patency and relieve stenosis symptoms.

3. Surgical treatment

If the stenosis is severe, it may be necessary to perform surgical treatment again. Surgery is usually performed by open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, aiming to enlarge the narrow anastomotic stoma and thereby reduce stenosis.
