[Surgical treatment of esophageal stricture after chemical burn].
26 patients with esophageal stricture caused by chemical burn were treated from Nov. 1972 to Nov. 1990. No operative death occurred. Follow-up showed good therapeutic effects 92.3% of the patients. We believe that surgical treatment using colonic interposition as the main procedure may bring about satisfactory results. The indications for dilatation of esophageal stricture, preoperative treatment and selection of reconstruction of the esophagus are discussed.
