Abstract
:
Fluoroscopic guided balloon dilatation of the oesophageal stricture is a known, easy, applicable, and effective technique. We performed the procedure on 45 patients of different age groups. Dysphagia has disappeared in 7/9 achalasia patients and 6/12 distal post-operative stricture patients. Good responses were encountered in 3/3 peptic oesophagitis patients. Single or repeated dilatations with good responses was noted in 5/6 patients’ post atrasia operations. Repeated dilatations of corrosive oesophagus patients pre- and post-operation showed disappearance of dysphagia in 4/8. The procedure helped 3/4 patients with post-gastroplasty to tolerate small meals. No significant morbidities and no mortalities were encountered
