Abstract
Balloon dilation is an effective modality of treatment for esophageal strictures. As standard through-the-scope balloons do not pass through the biopsy channel of pediatric endoscopes, we have developed a technique by which these balloons can be used in pediatric patients by passing them alongside the endoscope. We report our experience of dilation in four patients using this technique.
