The modern treatment of oesophageal strictures using the Eder-Puestow dilators.

The greatest safety in bouginage of narrow and twisted oesophageal strictures is obtained by employing a flexible oesophagoscope via which a guiding probe is introduced by Puestow's method. The actual bougie may then be introduced over this guide without risk of perforating the oesophagus. When performed under TV-fluoroscopy, this procedure gains added safety. 108 dilations were performed without complications.
