[Endoprosthesis of rigid and extended cicatricial strictures of the esophagus].
The article describes treatment of 65 patients with postburn, extended, rigid cicatricial strictures of the esophagus by the method of temporary endoprosthetics. Most patients had an extended stricture. In 44 patients the diameter of the stenosed segment measured no more than 4 mm. Stage endoprosthesis of the esophagus was carried out in 32 patients. Devices by which intraoperative dilatation of the stricture can be achieved and its rigidity measures are shown, as well as designs of esophageal endoprostheses and an extractor of the endoprosthesis. The method suggested by the authors produced good results in 60 patients, esophagoplasty had to be undertaken in the remaining 5 patients. There were no fatal outcomes.
