Case description

Esophageal Dilatation. A hydrostatic dilating balloon straddled across the stricture. Under direct observation, the stricture is dilated. Esophageal dilatation is a procedure for opening a blocked or constricted section of the esophagus. (The esophagus is a long tube, known colloquially as the "gullet," through which food passes on its way to the stomach.) The procedure is normally performed by passing bougies, or dilators, through the constricted section of the esophagus, in order to break the constricting tissues or stretch the narrowed section.
