Reflux esophageal stricture--a review of 30 years' experience in children.

Children and adolescents presenting with reflux esophageal stricture (PS) frequently require antireflux surgery, redo antireflux surgery, and multiple dilations for recurrent symptoms.

We hope that these data will be of use to the clinician attempting to counsel patients and parents about treatment expectations in this challenging patient population.
