Hydropneumatic balloon dilation is a procedure used to open strictures in the esophagus and other parts of the digestive tract, such as the colon. At EndoCare Ajijic, we offer this treatment in our Ajijic facility, covering areas around Chapala and Jocotepec. Our team uses advanced technology to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
What is Hydropneumatic Balloon Dilation?
Hydropneumatic balloon dilation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a special balloon to expand narrow areas in the digestive tract, known as esophageal or colonic strictures. This procedure is recommended for:
- Patients with esophageal strictures that make swallowing difficult.
- Individuals with narrowed areas in the colon affecting bowel movements.
- Conditions like chronic reflux esophagitis and others.
How is Hydropneumatic Dilation Performed?
During the procedure, an endoscope is used to reach the narrowed area. A hydropneumatic balloon is carefully inflated to expand the area, improving the passage of food or stool, depending on the case. This procedure is safe, quick, and offers almost immediate recovery.
Conditions Requiring Hydropneumatic Dilation
Some of the conditions that may benefit from this procedure include:
- Esophageal strictures: Common in patients with chronic reflux.
- Colonic narrowing: Due to inflammation or scarring.
- Achalasia and eosinophilic esophagitis: Conditions that impact food passage.
