[Surgical treatment of caustic strictures of the eosophagus (author's transl)].
A retrosternal esophageal by-pass, mainly using isoperistaltic transverse colon, was performed in ten patients. In three of them, a gastrectomy for antral stenosis was associated. All the patients are alive and normally eating. A resection of the burned segment does not appear as mandatory. That surgery is essentially functionnal, and the indication must make much account of the patient's will.
