TL;DR: In patients with recalcitrant peptic esophageal stricture, steroid injection into the stricture combined with acid suppression significantly diminishes both the need for repeat dilation and the average time to repeatDilation compared to sham injection and acid suppression alone.

Bougienage Is Effective Therapy for Most Benign Esophageal Strictures
Frank L. Lanza,David Y. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: Primary therapy for most patients with peptic stenosis of the esophagus is recommended to be dilation; operative therapy should be reserved for those patients in whom a malignant neoplasm is suspected or those in whom frequent and rapid stricture recurrence makes medical therapy impractical.
