Balloon Dilatation of Anastomotic Strictures
Archives of Surgery, 1988Our experience with balloon dilatation of postoperative anastomotic strictures is reported herein. Six patients with strictures not responsive or accessible to standard bougie techniques were selected for balloon dilatation. A guidewire was passed through the stricture with an endoscope (four patients) or with fluoroscopic guidance alone (two patients).

Balloon dilatation of urethral strictures
Urologic radiology, 1981Postinflammatory and posttraumatic urethral strictures present a significant clinical problem. Conventional dilatation techniques are usually associated with recurrence and aggravation of the strictures. This is attributed to the mucosal and periurethral trauma associated with conventional dilatation methods.

Balloon Dilatation of Esophageal Strictures
Australasian Radiology, 1990ABSTRACTThe Gruntzig balloon dilatation catheter is an invaluable tool for the dilatation of long and narrow oesophageal strictures which are not amenable to other forms of dilatation. We present our experience of 43 dilatations of oesophageal strictures in 14 patients without any significant complications.

Balloon dilation of prostatic urethra
Urology, 1990Retrograde balloon catheter dilation of the prostatic urethra was performed for the management of bladder outlet obstruction secondary to prostatic hyperplasia. Of the 55 patients in our series, 43 were treated entirely as outpatients and 12 were inpatients for unrelated conditions.

Retrograde dilation of esophageal strictures with balloon dilators
Surgical Endoscopy, 1991Balloon dilators may be safely applied for retrograde dilation of esophageal strictures without the use of fluoroscopy or a pressure-gauge attachment. The turgidity of the dilating balloon is preferred to that of other materials such as polyvinyl, rubber, or metal.

Balloon Dilatation of Ureteral Strictures
Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1993Balloon catheter dilatation is now an accepted method for treating strictures of the upper urinary tract. A successful result was obtained in 34 (85%) of 40 patients with symptomatic stricture. The number of dilatations required for improved runoff from the kidney was one in 26 cases, two in six cases and three in one case.

Balloon Dilation of the Ureter for Ureteroscopy
Journal of Urology, 1988Balloon dilation catheters have been used extensively for percutaneous transluminal dilation of vascular narrowings. A recent urological application has been the use of a balloon to dilate acutely the normal ureteral orifice and intramural ureter for the purpose of performing transurethral ureteroscopy.

Balloon Dilatation versus Amplatz Dilatation for Nephrostomy Tract Dilatation
Journal of Endourology, 2008In this study, we present our experience using balloon and Amplatz dilatation to establish a percutaneous tract. We also discuss advantages and risk factors of both techniques.We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 229 patients who had undergone 235 percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures. The nephrostomy tract had been dilated using a balloon (

Histopathology of balloon‐dilation eustachian tuboplasty
The Laryngoscope, 2014Objectives/HypothesisSurgical intervention of the Eustachian tube (ET) has become increasingly common in the past decade, and balloon dilation has shown promising results in recent studies. It is unclear how balloon dilation enhances ET function. Our aim was to evaluate histological changes in the ET's mucosal lumen comparing before balloon dilation ...
