Endoscopic Dilation of Benign and Malignant Esophageal Strictures

Abstract: The main indication for esophageal dilation is to relieve benign or malignant dysphagia. Endoscopic dilation of malignant strictures is also performed to facilitate the completion of endoscopic procedures, such as endoscopic ultrasonographic tumor staging and to permit the placement of esophageal stents or to place a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for feeding purposes. Esophageal strictures are structurally categorized into two groups: complex and simple. Complex strictures are those that are asymmetric, … Show more

“…Keluhan disfagia ini bervariasi mulai dari ketidakmampuan menelan (orofaringeal disfagia) sampai adanya sensasi terhambatnya makanan melewati esofagus sampai ke lambung (esophageal disfagia). 1 Stiktur esofagus berdasarkan penyebabnya dapat dibagi menjadi striktur esofagus maligna dan benigna. Striktur esofagus maligna terutama disebabkan oleh keganasan pada esofagus, tapi juga dapat disebabkan oleh keganasan di luar esofagus sedangkan striktur esofagus benigna disebabkan oleh berbagai penyebab seperti Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), zat kaustik/korosif, pasca anastomosis esofagus, pasca radiasi dan esofagitis kronis.…”
