J Pediatr Surg. 2006 Sep;41(9):1613-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2006.05.056.

Abstract

Benign colorectal strictures can be a complication of intestinal surgery, with limited options for endoscopic intervention. In this report, we describe a case where a removable silicone stent was temporarily placed to successfully treat a benign post operative stricture in an infant with Hirschsprung's disease.
