摘要
Anastomotic stricture causing recurrent dysphagia is a serious problem occurring in patients after total oesophagectomy and cervical oesophagogastrostomy. We have developed a technique of self-dilatation of these strictures using a Foley catheter and have effectively managed ten patients. The technique is simple, painless, safe, cost-effective, and, as a domiciliary technique, patient acceptability is high.
