    For benign lower esophageal strictures, radical surgical procedures like colon interposition offer superior long-term relief from dysphagia compared to antireflux surgeries. Colon interposition also demonstrated excellent safety with 0% operative mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Digestive System Surgery

    Background:

    • Benign lower esophageal strictures often result from chronic gastroesophageal reflux.
    • Surgical interventions aim to relieve stricture and prevent reflux.
    • Long-term outcomes of various surgical approaches require evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term results of five different surgical operations for benign lower esophageal stricture.
    • To compare the efficacy and safety of antireflux procedures versus radical stricture excision.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 94 patients undergoing transthoracic Nissen fundoplication, Bingham gastroplasty, colon interposition, jejunal interposition, or jejunal bypass between 1973 and 1977.
    • Assessment of residual dysphagia, need for postoperative dilatations, and reoperations over a mean follow-up of 62 months.

    Main Results:

    • Radical procedures (colon, jejunal interposition, jejunal bypass) showed significantly less residual dysphagia (87% asymptomatic) compared to antireflux surgeries (55% asymptomatic for Bingham gastroplasty).
    • Radical procedures required fewer postoperative dilatations and reoperations.
    • Colon interposition achieved 0% operative mortality, comparable to Bingham gastroplasty, but with superior functional outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Colon interposition may provide the best long-term dysphagia relief for established benign lower esophageal strictures with minimal operative risk.
    • Radical excision and reconstruction offer superior functional results over traditional antireflux procedures for established strictures.
