Esophageal Disorders
Esophageal Stricture
Esophageal strictures cause progressive difficulty in swallowing and may result from chronic acid reflux, caustic ingestion, or prior surgery. At his Bangalore clinic, Dr. Adarsh provides endoscopic dilation and, when necessary, surgical management to restore the esophageal lumen and normal swallowing function.
