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.
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.
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
At Apple Hospital, Indore, Dr. Sarang Mahanaik utilizes advanced endoscopic techniques for safe and effective stricture dilatation. The procedure is usually done under sedation to ensure patient comfort.
During dilatation, balloons or dilators are carefully guided to the narrowed section and gradually expanded to restore the normal passage size. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the severity of the stricture.
If you are experiencing symptoms like difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, or bowel obstruction, consult Dr. Sarang Mahanaik in Indore for professional stricture dilatation treatment. Early intervention can improve symptoms and prevent complications.
