Esophageal stricture often occurs in patients with esophageal benign or malignant lesions, or a history of extensive injury. No guidelines have been established for preventing or treating esophageal stricture in our country. In 2020, a multidisciplinary team all over the country under the leadership of Chinese Society of Digestive Endoscopology and Chinese Endoscopist Association conducted a comprehensive discussion and proposed the consensus, to serve as a tool for Chinese clinicians to standardize prevention and treatment of the disease. There are four parts in the consensus, with a toal of 17 recommendations, including the preventing measures of stricture in patients with extensive resection, treatment measures in patients with esophageal benign stricture, refractory esophageal stricture and esophageal malignant stricture.
