[Esophagoplasty in non-standard situations: an analysis of 130 observations]
Abstract:
An experience with 130 esophagoplastics in non-standard situations has been analyzed. In all patients there was defectiveness of one or several organs--potential donors, in 48 observations the operation being repeated. Decision on the plastic material had to be individual and required systematized approach: in 87 patients the jejunum was used, in 26 patients--stomach, in 9--colon and in 8--ileum. In 69 cases plasty was followed by surgical reconstruction and different variants of revascularization of the shifted or free intestinal transplant with using microsurgical technique. The transplant was located in the posterior mediastinum (56), antethoracally (40), retrosternally (23) or on the neck (11). Complete clinical effect was obtained in 125 patients (96.1%), plasty was not completed in 2 (1.6%), 3 patients died (2.3%). The authors are discussing the ways of achieving and conditions of success of plasty of the esophagus in non-standard situations.
