Surgical treatment of a distal oesophageal stricture by mucosal radial incision and dilation in a kitten with secondary megaoesophagus.

Lower oesophageal strictures should be considered when evaluating regurgitations or megaoesophagus in a kitten. Surgical mucosal radial incision is a therapeutic option in cases of lower oesophageal stricture refractory to balloon dilation, and can lead to a marked improvement of clinical signs and of the oesophagus diameter leading to clinical success.
