Esophageal Dilation is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure that safely widens a narrowed esophagus to restore normal swallowing function. Under Dr. Omer's care, suitable candidates experience improved eating and drinking within days, with sustained relief when combined with appropriate follow-up management.
During Esophageal Dilation, Dr. Omer gently advances a balloon catheter through the mouth to the narrowed area. The balloon inflates gradually, widening the stricture without cutting or tearing tissue. The entire procedure typically takes twenty to thirty minutes and requires light sedation for comfort.
Esophageal Dilation treats chronic esophageal stricture and swallowing disorders that restrict food passage. It relieves dysphagia symptoms including difficulty swallowing solid foods, chest discomfort during eating, and regurgitation. This therapeutic approach addresses strictures caused by injury, inflammation, or previous surgery.
Patients with chronic swallowing difficulties, diagnosed esophageal stricture, or dysphagia unresponsive to medication benefit most from this procedure. Age varies widely, but stricture severity and overall health determine candidacy. Dr. Omer assesses each patient individually during consultation.
Prepare by fasting eight hours before your appointment. Continue essential medications unless advised otherwise. You will receive light sedation, so arrange transportation home. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Dr. Omer discusses any concerns during your pre-procedure consultation to ensure complete readiness.
