Abstract: Endoscopic dilation without the aid of fluoroscopy is safe and effective in relieving dysphagia caused by benign strictures of different causes, although repeated sessions are necessary because of stricture recurrence.

“…10 This is usually due to a long-standing process of deep and thick fibrosis, which is generally irreversible, whatever the trigger to initial inflammation-peptic, post-surgical, caustic or otherwise. Corticosteroids have shown limited efficacy in one randomized trial, 11 but mechanical methods are more widely used.…”

“…Some previous studies have shown that the perforation rate associated with the dilation of benign esophageal strictures is between 0.1 and 0.3 percent. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Perforation rate is higher with complex strictures and radiation-induced strictures. 27,28 The perforation rate may be influenced not only by the nature of the stricture, but also by the experience of endoscopist.…”
