Hello,
Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, if they suggest opening the esophagus:
1) Biopsy to rule out cancer should be done and can be done while stretching it
2) It works to help symptoms and is neither complicated nor risky.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
