Particularly, the standard steroid triamcinolone injection (LTI) therapy alone is insufficient for \u2265\u20097\/8 circumferential mucosal defects (non\u2010circumferential) after ESD. Thus, we aimed to compare the efficacy of LTI with a combination therapy of LTI and oral prednisolone administration (OPA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between January 2010 and December 2020, we enrolled patients with post\u2010ESD mucosal defects involving seven\u2010eighths or more of the circumference of the esophagus but not circumferential, who had received LTI or a combination therapy of LTI and OPA as prophylactic treatment. Esophageal stricture was defined as a case where an ordinary\u2010sized endoscope could not pass through the post\u2010ESD site, thus requiring endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) repeatedly until relief of the stricture was achieved. We retrospectively compared LTI and a combination of LTI and OPA in terms of stricture\u2010free survival, stricture rate, and refractory stricture (requiring \u2265\u20096 EBD procedures) rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 42 and 26 patients in the LTI and combination group were enrolled. The stricture and refractory stricture rates were 42.9% and 16.7% in the LTI group and 26.9% and 15.4% in the combination group, respectively. The SFS rates at 12\u2009weeks were 64.3% and 76.9% in the LTI group and the combination group, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
