Esophageal strictures are abnormal narrowings of the food pipe that cause significant swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), food impaction, and painful eating. Dr. Muhammad Raza offers advanced endoscopic stricture dilatation in Lahore, restoring a functional digestive tract without requiring invasive surgical resection.

Using specialized Savary-Gilliard wire-guided dilators or controlled radial expansion (CRE) balloons, strictures caused by severe chronic acid reflux, corrosive chemical ingestions, radiation therapy, or post-surgical anastomotic scarring are gently widened step-by-step.

Dilatation protocols are customized based on the stricture’s length, caliber, and etiology. Conducted under careful endoscopic visual monitoring, Dr. Raza prioritizes gentle progressive dilation to ensure safety, minimize tear risks, and deliver immediate swallowing comfort.

Specialized wire-guided Savary bougies or controlled radial expansion (CRE) balloons are inserted endoscopically to gradually stretch the tightened food pipe back to a normal diameter.

Severe or chronic strictures usually require 2 to 3 gentle, progressive sessions spaced several weeks apart to stretch the tissue safely without tearing.

Yes, when performed by an experienced endoscopist using high-definition visualization and fluoroscopy, complications are minimal and the procedure is very well tolerated.

Most patients start soft foods the next morning and notice significant relief in swallowing solids within 24 to 48 hours.
