“…In the first weeks after fundoplication, this is a common symptom that is relatively common until the sixth week postoperatively, present in up to 20-50% of patients 2,3,7,23,24,30 . However, his persistence brings great discomfort for the patient therefore prevents him from eating normally.…”

“…This rule, however, was originally described for bougie-type dilators and does not seem to hold true for TTS balloon dilation. Saeed et al [16] safely and effectively used a 10-mm balloon for peptic strictures smaller than 6 mm and a 15-mm balloon for strictures larger than 6 mm.…”

“…A técnica de dilatação empregada em todos os pacientes foi através da passagem de fio-guia sob visão direta por endoscopia e uso do dilatador de Savary-Gilliard, pois acreditamos ser este o mais eficaz em dilatações difíceis, estreitas e tortuosas como as lesões corrosivas, além de oferecer menores riscos de complicações como, por exemplo, perfuração do esôfago 1,4,6,17,18 . O corticoesteróide utilizado foi o hexacetonido de triancinolona 20 mg/ml diluído em solução fisiológica 0,9%, obtendo-se uma concentração de 10 mg/ml.…”
