Abstract Biodegradable (BD) stents have been used for the management of various oesophageal strictures (ES). The present study aim to evaluate our experience and efficacy of BD stents in benign ES at the endoscopic unit at the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, UK. Methods A retrospective review of case notes of 9 patients who have undergone endoscopically placement of BD stent for benign ES between March 2010 and November 2020. All 9 patients underwent successful stent placement. None of the patients had previous surgery for their condition. All patients, prior to stenting had oesophageal dilatations, some multiple times. Results Stent placement was successful in all 9 patients. Some patients had stent migration and subsequent re stenting. All patients had benign ES as the cause of dysphagia. One patient had caustic oesophageal stricture, remaining eight had peptic ulceration and GORD as the cause of dysphagia. The median number of dilatations prior to stent placement was 4 (IQR 7), more than the median number of dilatations post stent placement which was 2.0 (IQR: 3.5). Conclusion BD stents offers prolonged dilatation-free interval and reduces the number dilatations in patients with benign oesophageal strictures.
