Endoscopic Dilation of Pharyngoesophageal Strictures: There Are More Dimensions than a Diameter

摘要

Background/AimsDysphagia due to benign pharyngoesophageal strictures (PES) often requires repeated dilations; however, a uniform definition for the therapeutic efficacy of this technique has not been yet established. We aimed to assess the overall efficacy of endoscopic dilation of pharyngoesophageal anastomotic or post-radiotherapy (post-RT) strictures.
