[Preventive treatment in caustic stenosis of the oesophagus (author's transl)].
The authors review the varioux forms of treatment used experimentally and clinically in an attempt to prevent oesophageal stenosis following ingestion of caustic substances. Corticosteroid therapy is still used by certain authors though its effectiveness is far from obvious. However, promising results have been obtained experimentally using substances such as amino-nitriles, which alter the properties of newly formed collagen.
