  • Title: [Benign esophageal stenosis: role of endoscopic therapy].
    Author: Pallio S, Tortora A, Melita G, Palmeri R.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 2000; 52(5):585-8. PubMed ID: 11190554.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on their experience over a period of three years with the endoscopic treatment of benign oesophageal stenosis utilising the endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) technique or Savary-Gilliard cylindrical-conical dilators. They evaluate the results of the therapy with clinical and endoscopic follow-up at six-monthly intervals. The treatment proved effective, with total remission of dysphagia symptoms in approximately 95% of patients and with a low risk of complications.
