K91.84: Strictures after endoscopic interventions and operations on the digestive tract

After an earlier treatment, you have a severely constricted site in a digestive organ.

Various organs are required for digesting food. The digestive organs include the gullet, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines, for example.

These types of constrictions can occur after a treatment, for example due to scar tissue. Scar tissue forms after an area has been injured or inflamed. Constrictions may form in the esophagus, the bile ducts or the intestines, for example. The constrictions cause a variety of problems, depending on the area affected. Pain, nausea and vomiting may occur, for example.
