Abstract :

 Due to the latest advancements in the manufacturing of Self–Expanding Metallic Stents (SEMS) and its various types available, Endoscopists have extended their use to treat various clinical problems such as Benign/Malignant strictures,Anastamotic leaks after surgery,Fistulas. Benign strictures are normally treated by Endoscopic dilatation program and Acid suppression therapy. But recently SEMS are also been used for treating the same. Complications that follow this procedure includes Dislodgement, Obstruction, Migration and Impaction .The treating Endoscopist should be aware of these complications and should try to avoid it.We present a case of young male who presented with Dysphagia following Endoscopic stenting for benign Esophageal stricture. Timely removal of the stent was not done for the patient and he later presented to us with Stent being migrated and impacted for which he required surgical intervention.
