GOMEZ-ZULETA, Martín Alonso  y  RUIZ-MORALES, Óscar. Self-dilatation: An Alternative for Managing Refractory Esophageal Strictures. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2024, vol.39, n.1, pp.91-93.  Epub 16-Mayo-2024. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1035.

We present the case of a patient with post-caustic stenoses who required surgical management and whose anastomosis was narrowed, requiring dilations using Savary, strictureplasty, and injection therapy without success. Given the recurrence, we decided to train him to do self-dilatation, which was successful since the patient could resume his daily activities. In addition to the photos, the case report provides a video explaining step-by-step the methods used in managing the patient.

Palabras clave : Caustics; stenosis; dilations; self-dilatations.
