Differences between groups were analysed by one‐way analysis of variance with Bonferroni's correction. χ2 analysis was used for table analysis, and Fisher's exact test with Yates' correction was used. The cumulative non‐symptomatic stricture rate was assessed by the life‐table method employing Log rank (Mantel–Cox) analysis. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
