Complications of esophageal stricture dilation
Over time, the damage caused by stomach acid can scar the lining of the esophagus.When this scar tissue builds up, it makes the esophagus narrow. Called strictures, these narrow spots make it hard to swallow food and drinks, which can lead to weight lossand dehydration. medscape

- The natural history of benign esophageal strictures starts with gradual dysphagia to solid food and heartburn. [1] Sometimes there is no history of heartburn and reflux symtoms before diagnosis of esophageal stricture due to progression of fibrosis[2]
- If left untreated, patients with esophageal stricture may progress to develop pulmonary aspiration, weight loss, and dehydration.[3]
- More than 80–90 % of esophageal strictures can be treated successfully with endoscopic dilation using Savary bougies or balloons.
- RBES resolution was achieved in only 22 of 70 (31.4%) patients. Two deaths (3%) were related to RBES. The success rate was lower in those who also were treated with endoprosthetics (odds ratio [OR] 3.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-18.0). The mean dysphagia-free period was 3.3 months (95% CI, 2.4-4.1) for patients treated with dilation and 2.4 months (95% CI, 1.2-3.6) for those treated with stents (P = .062). Over time, the total dysphagia-free period increased at a rate of 4.1 days (95% CI, 1.7-6.4) per dilation. There was no difference in the rate of change across groups defined by sex (P = .976), age (P = .633), or endoscopic treatment (P = .267).
Complications
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally good and it depends what causes esophageal stricture. More than 80-90 % of esophageal strictures respond well to endoscopic dilation [4] , and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of weight loss is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with esophageal stricture.
- Loss of previous heartburn is related to more esophageal stricture[2]
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
