To compare the efficacy of steroid injection versus topical mitomycin-C in the treatment of pediatric benign recurrent esophageal strictures. The rationale for this study is to compare the two therapeutic options in order to measure their effectiveness, in terms of improvement of Dysphagia Severity Score (DSS).
After taking approval from the Institutional Review Board of the university; and taking the informed consent from parents, patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. They will be then randomly allocated into two groups; group A and group B. Patients in Group A will be treated with esophageal dilation with a CRE balloon (controlled radial expansion balloon). After adequate dilation of stricture, injection Mitomycin will be applied to the narrowest portion of the stricture. Patients in Group B will be treated with esophageal dilation with a CRE balloon in the same manner. After adequate dilation of stricture, Triamcinolone injection will be injected into the narrowest portion of the stricture, using a sclerotherapy injector. Dysphagia Severity Score will be noted at start of intervention, at 2 weeks after intervention and at 6 weeks post- intervention.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A: Mitomycin | Experimental | Patients in Group A will be treated with esophageal dilation with a CRE balloon. After adequate dilation of stricture, injection Mitomycin will be applied to the narrowest portion of the stricture. It will be applied in a dose of 1ml (0.4mg/ml); after dividing in to four aliquots, each aliquot will be applied to to one of the four quadrants. |
|
| Group B: Triamcinolone | Experimental | Patients in Group B will be treated with esophageal dilation with a CRE balloon. After adequate dilation of stricture, Triamcinolone injection will be injected into the narrowest portion of the stricture, using a sclerotherapy injector. Injection triamcinolone will be used in a dose of 1ml (40mg/ml). It will be divided in to four aliquots; each aliquot will be injected in to each of the four quadrants. |

| Balloon Dilation + Topical Mitomycin | Procedure | Patients with recurrent esophageal strictures in Group A will undergo endoscopy and balloon dilation with a CRE balloon, followed by injection Mitomycin applied topically at stricture site (post dilation) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness measured in terms of improvement in Dysphagia Severity Score (DSS) | Patients in both groups (group A and group B) will be followed and mean dysphagia severity score will be noted at 0, 2 and 6 weeks of intervention in both the groups. Improvement in dysphagia will be monitored via a validated Dysphagia Severity Score (DSS). It is as follows: 0 Able to eat normal diet/no dysphagia
