Overview

The mainstay of treatment for esophageal stricture is dilation. Proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists are recommended among all patients who develop esophageal stricture due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Self-expandable plastic or metal stents placement is indicated for patients with refractory esophageal stricture.

Esophageal stricture procedure

The most common cause of esophageal stricture is gastroesophageal reflux disease. Treatment for esophageal stricture is combination of dilation and  proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonist therapy.[1]

Interventions for treatment of esophageal strictures include:

Dilators

There are two main forms of dilation including:[4][5][6]

  • Mechanical dilator (bougie) that can be done with
    • Guidewire such as savary-gilliard and eder-puestow olive dilators
    • Nonguidewire such as maloney and hurst dilator 
  • Balloon dilators

Patients can use bougie dilators as self dilation at home[7]

The following conditions need more cautious dilation because of increased risk of rupture and severity of underlying disease. [8]

Stents

Self-expandable plastic or metal stents can be used for patients with refractory esophageal stricture[9][10]

Stent can be considered for malignant esophageal stricture as a palliative therapy with expected survival time less than three months[11][12]

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is recommended among patients with malignant esophageal stricture with a life expectancy more than three months.[11]

Feeding tube and gastrostomy

Feeding tube and gastrostomy can be done for patients that are not good candidate for surgery [13]
