Stricture Dilatation Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

Stricture Dilatation is a specialized procedure used to treat narrowing (strictures) in the gastrointestinal tract, which can cause difficulty swallowing, pain, or bowel obstruction. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a renowned gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert stricture dilatation services to restore normal digestive function and improve patient quality of life.

Overview of Stricture Dilatation

Strictures are abnormal narrowings of the esophagus, intestines, or other parts of the digestive tract caused by inflammation, scarring, injury, or diseases like acid reflux and Crohn’s disease. Stricture dilatation involves the use of balloons or specialized instruments during an endoscopy to gently widen the narrowed area.

This minimally invasive procedure helps relieve symptoms such as swallowing difficulties and digestive discomfort caused by strictures.

Indications and Types of Strictures Treated

Stricture dilatation is commonly performed for:

• Esophageal strictures causing swallowing difficulties

• Intestinal strictures leading to bowel obstruction or pain

• Strictures from inflammatory bowel disease or surgical scarring

• Narrowing due to acid reflux, radiation therapy, or infections
