title: [A new instrument for dilatation of esophageal stenoses].
abstract: A new system for dilatation of the esophagus is presented. It combines the advantages of both the conventional semi-rigid dilator and the newer balloon method. The variable length of the new balloon provides more strength and a smoother surface. The device is easy to handle, even by the patient himself.
