Sumario:BACKGROUND: Strictures are a common complication for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Endoscopic stricturotomy (ESt) is a novel procedure for treatment of these strictures. METHODS: A chart review was performed for patients with strictures who underwent ESt. RESULTS: Eleven patients were included in the study and the total number of strictures treated was 12. The mean length of the strictures was 10.25 ± 4.36 mm. Technical success was achieved in 92% (n = 11) of the procedures. Postprocedural bleeding occurred in 9% (n = 1) of patients, and none of the patients had complications of infection or perforation. CONCLUSIONS: ESt is a safe technique with high technical success rate.
