Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of topical application of mitomycin C after dilation in pediatric patients having post corrosive esophageal stricture.
Methods: Thirty patients with post corrosive esophageal strictures were divided into two groups: 12 patients had repeated esophageal dilation without mitomycin C application, 18 patients had repeated esophageal dilation and topical application of mitomycin C.
Results: There was a highly significant difference in the improvement of dysphagia grade at the end of follow up in the mitomycin C group (p=0.005). The number of repetition of dilatation ranged from 2 to 6 (median=3) in the 1st group, and 2 to 4 (median=2.5) in the mitomycin C group. There were no adverse effects from the topical application of the mitomycin C.
Conclusions: Topical application of mitomycin C after oesophageal dilation can be beneficial in improving dysphagia in patients with post corrosive oesophageal stricture.
