title: [Bouginage of peptic esophageal stenoses. Results of one year with long-term omeprazole medication].
abstract: METHODS
  Within the framework of an open prospective study, 47 patients with chronic reflux esophagitis, unresponsive to H2-receptor blockers and complicated by stenosis, underwent endoscopic bougienage. Unsuccessful treatment with H2-receptor blockers was followed in all patients by antisecretion treatment with omeprazole at a dose of 40 mg/day.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At the latest after 3 months, stenotic and inflammatory changes had cleared up in all patients and under continued omeprazole over the long-term, remission of at least one year was achieved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A combination of endoscopic bougienage and simultaneous treatment with the proton pump blocker, omeprazole, represents effective treatment of chronic reflux disease complicated by stenosis.
