ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the methods and effect of balloon catheter dilation of benign esophageal stenosis in children. Methods 9 cases had an anastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of esophageal atresia; 11 cases of esophageal stenosis due to ingestion of caustics; one case had an lower esophageal stenosis after Nissen surgery and one case after gastroesophagoplasty. Age ranged from 17 days to 7 years. Each case had a barium esophagram before balloon dilation. The balloon size varied from 3 to 10 mm in diameter. Results 21 cases were successful after dilation of balloon catheter. There were no esophageal perforation and complications. The satisfactory results maintained from six months to thirty months. Conclusions Balloon catheter dilation is a simple、safe and reliable method for the treatment of benign esophageal strictures in children as the first choice.
