Complication of the Jackson Esophageal Bougie

Alan B. Gazzaniga M.D.1 and Roger A. Christian M.D.2

1 Assistant Professor of Surgery, University of California, Irvine
2 Senior Resident in Surgery, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston

Jackson silk-woven bougies are effective and generally safe for dilation of esophageal strictures. However, when using older dilators, they should be carefully checked for cracks and weakness at the junction with the metal shaft and bougie as a moderate amount of bending in this area may cause separation which could lead to the complications described in this report.
