Why a gastroenterologist may be needed

After surgery and radiation, part of the throat or food pipe can slowly narrow. This is called a stricture, and it can make swallowing food, and sometimes even liquids, difficult.

A gastroenterologist can widen the narrowed part using a thin camera tube (an endoscope) and a small balloon or dilator. This is called dilation. It is usually a short procedure and may need to be repeated.
