Treatment options for esophageal strictures include conservative or surgical procedures. Conservative treatment includes mechanical stricture dilation (bougienage, balloon catheter dilation) and prosthesis placement. Surgery is not commonly performed on the esophagus because it is technically demanding and often complicated. A technique using endoscopic electrocautery incisions of the stricture prior to dilation has been proposed and is successfully performed by the author.

Abstract
Treatment options for esophageal strictures include conservative or surgical procedures. Conservative treatment includes mechanical stricture dilation (bougienage, balloon catheter dilation) and prosthesis placement. Surgery is not commonly performed on the esophagus because it is technically demanding and often complicated. A technique using endoscopic electrocautery incisions of the stricture prior to dilation has been proposed and is successfully performed by the author.Pubblicazioni consigliate
