What is Colonic Dilatation?
Colonic dilatation, also known as bowel dilation, is a non-surgical procedure that widens narrowed segments of the colon. It is commonly performed using endoscopic balloon dilatation during a colonoscopy. This technique helps treat:
- Benign bowel strictures
- Colorectal obstructions
- Colonic decompression needs
- Colorectal stenosis due to chronic inflammation or radiation therapy
When is Colonic Dilatation Needed?
You may need colonic dilation if you’re facing:
- Chronic constipation
- Frequent abdominal pain or bloating
- Difficulty passing stool
- Symptoms of colonic obstruction or stricture
- Post-surgical complications like anastomotic stricture
These symptoms may arise from conditions like:
- CrohnтАЩs disease strictures
- Diverticulitis-related narrowing
- Radiation-induced strictures
- Megacolon or motility disorders
- Colonic narrowing post-abdominal surgery
How is the Procedure Performed?
- The patient undergoes a standard colonoscopy.
- A specialized balloon catheter is passed to the site of the stricture.
- The balloon is inflated gradually to expand the narrowed colon segment.
- Once the desired diameter is achieved, the balloon is deflated and removed.
This endoscopic therapy for strictures typically lasts 30тАУ60 minutes and is performed as a day-care procedure under sedation.
Is Colonic Dilatation Painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort or pressure, but no significant pain. Sedation is used to ensure comfort. Our gastro team closely monitors vital signs and post-procedure recovery.
