Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 or older with short benign esophageal strictures confirmed by endoscopy and histology, presenting with dysphagia and indicated for first-line endoscopic treatment are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with malignant or congenital strictures, associated fistula, long strictures, pregnant individuals, or those unable or unwilling to consent or permit data use are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort enrolls adults with endoscopy- and biopsy-confirmed short benign esophageal strictures and dysphagia who are candidates for first-line endoscopic dilation. The BougieCap is a short, tapered transparent cap that attaches to the endoscope and permits direct visualization during bougie-style dilation. Study staff will document procedural performance, symptom improvement, complications, and need for repeat dilations. Collected data will be used to better characterize the device's safety and practical performance in routine clinical use.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the BougieCap could offer a visually guided dilation option that improves swallowing outcomes or reduces complications and repeat procedures for patients with short benign strictures.
How similar studies have gone: Standard balloon and bougie dilations have robust literature showing comparable effectiveness, while the BougieCap is a newer device with limited published outcome data.
