ABSTRACT
Fifty patients with chemical burns of the esophagus were examined fibroesophagoscopically. All of them underwent local endoscopic irradiation by a copper vapour laser. Laser treatment promoted more rapid healing of the esophageal wall. No cicatrization-induced strictures were noted. Adjuvant local laser therapy is believed valid in management of esophageal chemical trauma.

Overall 240 patients with chemical burns of the esophagus were examined. Local endoscopic treatment with the aid of lasers was applied in 180 victims. The efficacy of different types of laser radiation was compared in terms of the times of the healing of the esophageal wall. It is concluded that further studies should be carried out in the given area.

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.

The results of treatment of chemical burns of the esophagus in 140 patients with the medical glues MK-8 and MK-14E. Application of the glues was undertaken in the presence or absence of hormone therapy. The method of glue application is described. The use of the method reduces the time of healing of the destructive lesions of the esophageal mucosa in chemical burns and facilitates the prevention of complications.

A total of 100 patients with a clinical picture of acute large-intestinal obstruction have been examined to whom 157 endoscopic highly effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventions were performed. The data obtained were used to determine the sequence of actions by a specialist in endoscopy during the treatment of large intestinal obstruction.

Clinical and morphological studies were performed to evaluate the results of endoscopic helium-neon laser therapy in 34 patients with chemical esophageal burns. There was an accelerated epithelization of the impaired esophageal mucosa, which occurred on the second week following the esophageal burning. It was concluded that it was advisable to include local endoscopic laser therapy into the combined treatment of patients with chemical esophageal lesions.
