    Author: Bakirov AA.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 2001; 160(1):53-7. PubMed ID: 11258325.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of 170 patients with esophageal obstruction is presented. Esophagoplasty with different fragments of the gastrointestinal tract was used (87--ileocolon, 16--small intestine, 23--left half of the colon, 44--a stalk from the greater curvature of the stomach). The greater amount of complications due to incompetence of the esophageal anastomosis sutures was noted in patients after esophagoplasty with a fragment of the small (50%) and right half of the large (59.7%) intestine, more rarely-after plasty with a gastric stalk (15.9%) and left half of the colon (26.1%). There was no necrosis of the transplant from the left half of the colon. Severe ischemic lesions made their appearance in the fundal portion of the gastric stalk (2.2%), necrosis of the small intestine part of ileocolon developed in 16.1% of the patients. In the patients with less amount of postoperative complications one-stage esophagoplasty was performed. Reconstructive operations on the artificial esophagus were necessary in 43.6% of the patients. The main indication for it was mechanical dysphagia.
