dc.description.abstractEsophageal strictures in childhood are typically benign and result from various factors like reflux esophagitis, caustic ingestions, and anastomotic scarring. Diagnosis is often by a barium esophagogram, with long strictures being over 2-3 cm. Initial management involves dilation using a balloon dilator or bougies, with dilation gradually expanding the stricture to prevent mucosal injury. Despite the extensive history of esophageal dilation practices in Ethiopia, there remains a notable gap in the literature regarding pediatric esophageal stricture dilation and its associated procedural outcomes.
