Twenty-five patients (55.6%) with neoplastic strictures were treated for palliation alone. The stenosis was related to radiotherapy in 11 patients (24.4%) and to postsurgical complications in 9 (20%). A group of 23 patients was treated with dilation alone (group 1). A second group included 22 patients treated with insertion of a self-expandable stent after failure of dilation treatment (group 2). The swallowing test data, clinical notes, and surgical reports were reviewed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All of the patients showed some degree of relief of dysphagia. In group 1, 19 of the 23 patients required multiple dilation treatments to maintain normal deglutition. In group 2, 7 of the 22 patients recovered regular oral feeding after stent placement, 10 patients reported pain and foreign body sensation, 2 patients reported pain so severe that stent removal was required, and 3 patients experienced stent migration. All but 3 of the 25 patients with inoperable tumors died during follow-up, but no patients with benign stenosis died.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The two groups showed comparable functional results. Dilation often requires multiple procedures, but is usually well tolerated. Placement of self-expandable stents is effective, but is generally less well tolerated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348941212100206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:44:54Z","timestamp":1412347494000},"page":"104-109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Endoscopic Treatment of Benign and Malignant Strictures of the Cervical Esophagus and Hypopharynx"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Gallo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulio","family":"Pagliuca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"de Vincentiis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Martellucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elsa","family":"Iallonardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gianfranco","family":"Fanello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Cereatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fausto","family":"Fiocca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2007.11.027"},{"key":"bibr2-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2007.03.1087"},{"key":"bibr3-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/crad.2002.0988"},{"key":"bibr4-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2007.02.050"},{"key":"bibr5-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1985.00360080117017"},{"key":"bibr6-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2005.04.050"},{"key":"bibr7-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr.74.886.740891"},{"key":"bibr8-000348941212100206","first-page":"84","volume":"12","author":"Gislason GT","year":"1997","journal-title":"Dysphagia"},{"key":"bibr9-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-007-0456-0"},{"key":"bibr10-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-2050.2005.00516.x"},{"key":"bibr11-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.meg.0000236885.59461.c0"},{"key":"bibr12-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(00)70448-2"},{"key":"bibr13-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.136.10.1164"},{"key":"bibr14-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20427"},{"key":"bibr15-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2009.12.050"},{"key":"bibr16-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLE.0b013e3181cdebf4"},{"key":"bibr17-000348941212100206","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1051-0443(07)61886-7"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology &amp; Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348941212100206","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348941212100206","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:20:10Z","timestamp":1777375210000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000348941212100206"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,2]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000348941212100206"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000348941212100206","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,2]]}}}
