Abstract

Objective: Mechanical dilatation and adjuvant injection of tri-amcinolone acetate (TA) effectively preserve the opening pro-vided and reduce the number of bougie dilation (BD) in benign esophageal strictures. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of Methylprednisolone (MP) injection after BD in providing permanent/long-term lumen opening.
