[Endoscopic stricturotomy--possible treatment of stenoses of colorectal anastomoses based on a stapling technique]

Abstract

The authors present the possibility of using colonoscopic stricturotomy by means of a papillotomy commonly used for sphinctertomy of the Papilla Vateri in order to influence a stenosis of a colorectal anastomosis implemented by the stapler technique. The operation proper and postoperative course were without any complications.
