Core Tip	The paper reviews the conservative treatment of esophageal stenosis and strictures (ES) in children. Different types of ES are discussed, including post-esophageal atresia anastomotic strictures, congenital esophageal stenosis and dystrophic recessive epider-molysis bullosa strictures. Endoscopic techniques are reviewed, including balloon and semirigid dilators, esophageal stents and different adjuvant treatment strategies, like corticosteroids (either systemically or locally injected), the local application of mitomycin C, and ES incision. Conservative management must be considered also for complications, such esophageal perforations, except for patients with severe pleural cavity involvement, who require surgery.
