[The local treatment of chemical burns of the esophagus via an endoscope by means of laser therapy and adhesive application].

Abstract

An examination of 180 patients with chemical burns of the esophagus was performed. Local endoscopic treatment with the help of low energy laser irradiation and glue applications was used in 120 patients. Preference is given to the method of local laser therapy because of the best results of treatment and the absence of risk of putting out of order the expensive apparatus resulting from an ingress of glue on it.
