[Iatrogenic instrumental injuries to the gastrointestinal tract].
Clinical-anatomical correlations are drawn for 155 cases of esophageal injuries related to instrumental investigations. These injuries involved a lethal outcome in 21% of cases. Relevant pathology is referred to as iatrogenic. The analysis suggests a relationship between an early diagnosis and outcome. Morphological characteristics are presented for esophageal injuries and associated complications. Considered are iatrogenic damage to the gastric wall due to glue application, sequelae of endoscopic choledochotomies, laparoscopies, etc. A rare complication of small intestinal intubation with resultant invagination is recorded. The complications are assessed morphologically, their outcomes are listed. The authors emphasize the significance of the clinico-morphologic analysis of each individual pathology for formulating postmortem diagnosis and cause of death.
