The Use of a Self-Assembling Peptide Gel for Stricture Prevention in the Esophagus after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A U.S. Multicenter Prospective Study

Post-operative stricture is serious common adverse event following extensive endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the esophagus. The self-assembling peptide (SA) gel has been shown to promote tissue healing and re-epithelialization. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the SAP gel for esophageal stricture prevention after ESD.
