Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic dilation is the preferred treatment for esophageal strictures, but there has been a lack of safety studies in the local region.
- This study looked at 164 patients over a span of two years to determine the safety of the procedure and factors leading to complications, finding six complications in total among 474 dilations performed.
- Results indicate that esophageal dilation is generally safe, as not following the "rule of 3" was not linked to higher complication rates, although balloon dilation was identified as a predictive factor for complications.
A 60-year-old male was operated upon in 2002 for liver hydatidosis, which included partial right hepatectomy with cholecystectomy and bilioduodenal anastomosis. He then developed liver cirrhosis secondary to left hepatic duct stricture. He presents at the emergency room with dry cough, which he had for a month and then became associated with yellowish, bitter-tasting "fluid" expectoration.
