Clinical Trial Summary

Anastomotic stricture is a common complication following foregut surgery. The standard of care for these benign foregut anastomotic strictures is balloon dilatation. However, re-stenosis of strictures is also common, requiring frequent repetition of balloon dilatation. Cryotherapy is a novel therapy that may improve clinical outcomes following dilatation. The purpose of the present study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to characterize the impact of cryotherapy on clinical outcomes and complications for benign anastomotic strictures following esophagectomy, gastrectomy, and bariatric surgery.
