We experienced two cases of esophageal web accompanying severe stricture that were treated by endoscopic incisions with an insulated‐tip knife ( IT ‐knife). With attention paid to the mucosa at the stricture, the lesion was incised with an IT ‐knife without complications. S ato's curved laryngoscope was used even in cervical esophageal lesions and an excellent field was secured.
