G Svensson, and L E Afzelius, and S Götberg, and A Lunderqvist, and T Owman

The technique of balloon catheter dilatation of benign esophageal strictures is presented. A general anesthetic is unnecessary which is an advantage in older patients. Moreover, the encouraging results and the absence of complications support the opinion that balloon catheter dilatation is an excellent alternative in the treatment of esophageal strictures.
