This study aimed to establish a novel animal model of benign esophageal stricture by using corrosive-induced injury in rabbits with an injection of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) via a self-made endoscopic injection needle. Materials and Methods: Corrosive injury of the esophagus was induced in 10 rabbits by administration of 1 mL of 1.5% NaOH using a laryngoscope with a self-made endoscopic injection needle. The self-made injection needle was fabricated by modification of the core of an endoscopic injection needle.
