Balloon Dilatation of Oesophageal (DSWAPAN)

Balloon Dilatation of Oesophageal (DSWAPAN) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowing (strictures) of the esophagus, which can cause difficulty swallowing. During the test, a flexible tube with a balloon at its tip is inserted through the mouth and into the esophagus, where the balloon is inflated to gently widen the narrowed area, improving the passage for food and liquids. This procedure is typically performed under sedation and may provide significant relief from symptoms associated with esophageal strictures.
