[One-stage esophagoplasty with pathologically changed or operated stomach in patients with benign esophageal strictures].

Results of surgical treatment of 71 patients who have undergone extirpation of the esophagus with one-stage plastic surgery with pathologically changed or operated stomach are presented. All the patients suffered from benign diseases of the esophagus: burn and peptic strictures, peptic esophageal ulcers, cardiospasm of degree IV, benign tumors. Fifty-one patients had been previously operated on the stomach, 10 patients had burn deformation of the stomach, 3--benign tumors of the esophagus involving the stomach, the others--gastric and/or duodenal ulcers. In all the cases an isoperistaltic gastric tube was used for plastic repair of the esophagus. Postoperative lethality was 1.4%.
