Esophageal benign stricture is the pathological stricture caused by any disease in esophageal antrum. In addition‚ the external pressure of the mucosal ring and the mediastinal tissue can also cause esophageal stricture. Benign stricture of the esophagus (BSE) can severely reduce quality of life and cause major complications such as aspiration‚ weight loss and malnutrition [1]. Esophageal stent implantation has been widely used in clinical practice‚ and this surgical method effectively alleviates
