Abstract

The article generalizes the experience in the treatment of 317 patients with burns of the esophagus and stomach, 140 of them underwent restorative operations on the esophagus. The indications for the choice of the restorative operations are determined by the character of the burn and the condition of the patient's organism before the accident. Retrosternal plastics of the esophagus with the colon is the operation of choice in this group of patients. The elaboration of rational therapeutic tactics, improvement of preoperative management, and the introduction of effective methods of treatment into practice with the use of microsurgical and laser techniques improved considerably the results of restorative operations on the esophagus in patients with combined burn pathology.
