Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Mahda Alihashemi M.D. [2]
Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of esophageal stricture is frequent acid reflux. Other risk factors include hiatal hernia, obesity, smoking, esophageal dysmotility, increased gastric acidity,
and heavy alcohol use
