title: [The endoscopic therapy of benign stenoses of the esophagus and cardioesophageal junction using Eder-Puestow instrumentation].
abstract: The results of palliative endoscopic treatment by bougienage using Eder-Puestow instrumentation, performed in a limited contingent of patients presenting benign esophageal strictures, are analyzed. It is underscored that the method is readily carried out and effective, and seldom leads to noteworthy complications, such as esophageal perforations--one patient alone presenting cicatricial stricture out of the total of 42 cases given treatment with bougienage over a 10-year period. The commonest cause of benign strictures of the esophagus in the series being examined is reflux (peptic) esophagitis against the background of hiatus hernia.
