Esophageal dilatation in dysphagic patients with benign strictures is usually considered successful if the patients' dysphagia is alleviated. However, the relation between dysphagia and the diameter of a stricture is not well understood. Moreover, the dysphagia may also be caused by an underlying esophageal motor disorder. In order to compare symptoms and objective measurements of esophageal st...
متن کاملManagement of Benign Esophageal Strictures in Children

متن کاملAluminum phosphide-induced esophageal strictures: a new cause of benign esophageal strictures.
Fifteen consecutive patients presenting with dysphagia due to aluminum phosphide (AP)-induced esophageal strictures were studied retrospectively to elucidate the natural history of AP-induced esophageal strictures and to evaluate the efficacy of bougie dilation. The median time lag between consumption of AP and occurrence of dysphagia was 3 weeks. All patients had a single stricture and could b...
متن کاملRecurrent dilatation in resistant benign esophageal strictures: timing is significant.
BACKGROUND/AIM Benign esophageal strictures are frequently encountered pathologies occurring due to various reasons. Repeated dilatations may be needed, particularly in resistant strictures. This study aimed to evaluate patients who underwent repeated dilatations in our clinic due to resistant esophageal strictures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients who underwent multiple dilatations in ...
متن کاملEsophageal stents for benign refractory strictures: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fully covered self-expanding removable stents (SERS) have been considered a viable alternative to serial bougienage. The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of SERS for refractory esophageal strictures. METHODS Medline, Embase, and PubMed databases were searched using the keywords "esophageal stricture," "esophageal stents," "benign stricture," ...
