title: [Endoscopic treatment of children with esophagus stenoses of different etiology].
abstract: Nowadays not only diagnostic but also therapeutic interventions are widely used in pediatric endoscopy. The authors analyze 25 cases of esophageal stenosis of different genesis (caustic, peptic, anastomotic and congenital esophageal obstructions) in children aged from 1.6 to 15 years. The endoscopic treatment was successfully performed by mechanical dilators with a guidewire and balloon dilator in all patients. The age less than 2 years, previous complications, subtotal stenosis can not be considered absolute contraindication for endoscopic treatment.
