What IS

esophageal dilation?


Esophageal dilation enlarges narrowed or obstructed parts of the esophagus, often through an endoscopic procedure. Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates offers this for gastrointestinal issues due to esophageal constriction, or stricture.

Commonly, balloon dilation is employed. A balloon is inserted at the stricture via endoscope and expanded to widen the esophagus. This isn’t curative but alleviates symptoms, sometimes requiring multiple sessions based on ailment severity. For Texas esophageal dilation, reach out to the nearest center for consultation.

Who Qualifies for Esophageal Dilation?


Numerous reasons warrant esophageal dilation, including:

In the procedure room, you’ll lie on your abdomen as IV sedation begins, administered gradually for safety. An endoscope enters through your mouth and advances through the upper digestive tract, aided by air. Iodine-based contrast dye is injected into the bile and pancreatic ducts, allowing x-rays to identify abnormalities.

  • Esophageal malignancy
  • Persistent acid reflux (GERD)
  • Esophageal inflammation and constriction due to chemical damage
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)
  • Contact Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates to find a provider who can help ease your discomfort by stretching your esophagus.
