| Popis: | Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is an established therapy for esophageal stenosis. To assess its usefulness in children, we reviewed 11 years of pediatric cases of EBD in our hospital. Over the last 11 years, EBD was performed on 14 pediatric patients (10 boys and four girls; 7 months-11 years) at our hospital. All EBD sessions were performed under general anesthesia and fluoroscopic monitoring. The sessions were repeated every week or alternate weeks until resolution of dysphagia or development of smooth endoscope passage. Stenosis was resolved in 14 of 14 patients (100%). None of the patients (0%) showed recurrence of stenosis. As for postoperative complications, mediastinitis occurred only in one patient (7.1%). The median number of session repeats for an individual patient was three (range 1-10). EBD is a safe and effective therapeutic modality for esophageal stenosis in children. |
