[Treatment of isolated and combined burns of the stomach]

Results of the surgical treatment of 31 patients with isolated and associated burn injuries of the stomach are presented. Resection of the stomach was performed on 24 patients (15 patients--by Billroth-1 and 9 patients--by Billroth-2 method). A necessary procedure is the intraoperative forced bougieurage under narcosis of the scarry esophagus. Two patients died: one of them after gastric resection, the second--after making collateral gastroenteroanastomosis from incompetent sutures of anastomosis, peritonitis. Successful treatment is dependent on the timely diagnosis and rational curative tactics.
