Abstract:
This paper presents the experience of surgical treatment of 32 patients with esophageal stricture caused by corrosive burn. The modes of surgical treatment in this series included: instrumental dilatation in 11 cases, reconstruction with resection of strictured esophagus in 19 (pharyngogas-trostomy in 6, cervical esophagogastrostomy in 12 and colon interposition in 1) and reoperation for esophageal restenosis in 2, There was no operative morality. All patients were fol- lowed-up and 94% of them resumed their normal diet post-operatively. The author recommend that dilatation can be applied to patients with localized esophageal stricture or slight annular stricture, and should done early. Resection of the esophageal stricture and esophagal reconstruction can be used in patients with extensive or severe stricture. There are many ways to esophageal reconstruction. The optimal one should meet the following requirements: isoperistaltic segment without tension and rich in blood supply, it should be easy to perform and result in no restenosis.
