Home Dilation for Recurrent Pharyngeal or Laryngeal Stenosis
The purpose of this talk is to describe the anatomy of the esophagus and the types of dilators used to open-up strictures of the esophagus. We will then go into safe dilation techniques and when the home dilation method can be considered. The indications, materials needed, and the technique is described for the audience so that the technique could be duplicated and utilized by the participants of the lecture. It is a good technique to use in the appropriate clinical setting. I have never had a patient fail this technique when properly trained and encouraged. Thank you for this opportunity to present at your yearly meeting and I look forward to meeting you al in person sometime when the pandemic eases.
