Abstract:
The endoscopic pneumatic dilation (EPD) procedure introduces an instrument which can be used in combination with fiberoptic-endoscopes types GIF-P and GIF-P2. The dilator is characterized by simple, easy, and gentle handling, even with extreme deviation at the gastro-esophageal junction. In daily clinical routine it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of achalasia.
