Core Tip	This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic stricturotomy (ES) for treating stricturing Crohn's disease in 11 patients. ES achieved a 100% immediate success rate with no significant complications. During follow-up, symptom relief was maintained for a median of 10 months, and the need for surgical intervention was reduced. ES was particularly effective for short-segment, solitary strictures and provided precise, minimally invasive treatment. These findings suggest ES is a viable alternative to surgery, which improves patient outcomes and delays recurrence or progression. Further research with larger sample sizes and multicenter studies is needed to validate these results.
