What is the difference between the savory dilator and maloney dilator?
Wire guided dilators (Savary dilators)These dilators are tapered and shaped like Maloney dilators. The scope is used to pass a guide-wire through the stricture. The scope is then removed and the Savary dilators are passed over the guide-wire through the stricture. The dilators have a small passageway through the center which allows them to slide over the wire. These are used when strictures are too firm or too narrow to be dilated with Maloney dilators. Maloney dilators are not wire guided.

How is lower esophageal ring corrected?
Lower esophageal ring, also known as Schatzki ring, is typically corrected through a procedure called esophageal dilation. In this procedure, a thin tube or balloon is inserted into the esophagus to stretch and widen the narrowed area of the ring. This helps to alleviate symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and food impaction. In some cases, if the ring is severe or recurrent, surgical intervention may be required to remove the ring and repair the esophageal lining.
