ABSTRACT
Results of esophagoplasty (small intestine--5, stomach--35, colon--40) were studied in 80 patients with scarry stricture of the esophagus. The development of cancer in the burned esophagus was established in 3 out of 5 patients in 35-45 years after operation. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in 97.8% of the patients within the period from 5 to 17 years after gastro- and coloesophagoplasty. Unsatisfactory results were found in 3.2%. Total lethality after esophagoplasty was 12.5%.

The experience with treatment of 104 patients with burn cicatricial strictures of the esophagus and stomach is analyzed. Postoperative complications were seen in 28 (26.9%) patients. Hospital lethality was 12.5%. It is concluded that method of esophagoplasty in these patients should be selected individually.
