| Core Tip |
Complete obstruction in the proximal oeso-phagus is rare after radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. We present our institutional experience with endoscopic rendezvous dilation and the clinical outcomes. This technique offers a safe and viable alternative to high-risk blind antegrade dilation. In our series, the rate of technical success was high. Although half of the patients remained percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy-tube dependent, the majority showed relevant improvement in their ability to swallow and, consequently, in their quality of life.
