Core Tip
Core Tip: The treatment of duodenal webs has evolved with medical advancements, particularly in endoscopy, shifting from traditional surgical management to minimally invasive endoscopic approaches. Recent advances in endoscopic instruments and techniques have rendered endoscopic treatment a viable alternative. Generally, endoscopic balloon dilatation requires multiple sessions rather than a single treatment. Endoscopic membranectomy or incisional therapy may ultimately necessitate surgical intervention for restenosis owing to scarring. By contrast, radial incision and cutting is a safe, rapid, and effective treatment method that allows complete circumferential excision of the web. Unlike surgery, it does not require a prolonged hospital stay and presents a very low risk of surgical complications, making it an effective alternative treatment.
