Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Plummer-Vinson syndrome. However, procedure such as mechanical dilatation with the use of an endoscope may be used in patients who are unresponsive to medical therapy, have multiple obstructive esophageal webs and long-standing dysphagia.
Surgery
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Mechanical dilatation with the use of an endoscope may be used to disrupt esophageal webs and allow normal swallowing and passage of food. In addition, needle-knife electro incision may be used as an alternative to endoscopic dilation. Mechanical dilatation is usually reserved for patients with either:[1][2][3][4]
- Long-standing dysphagia
- Multiple obstructive esophageal webs
- Patients unresponsive to medical therapy
