title: [Treatment of short esophageal stricture in children].
abstract: The authors find it necessary to identify a nosological entity of short esophageal strictures, up to 1.5-2.0 cm long, from the specific features of their formation, clinical manifestations and from the possibility of widely using transesophageal methods of treatment. Among them, a procedure for intraesophageal compression of the scarring ring by using two types of devices in 64 patients was analysed. There was a positive result in 86% of the patients. The remaining children underwent surgical interventions: resection of an esophageal portion with esophagus-esophagus anastomosis and colesophagoplasty. No deaths were recorded. To objectivize the indications for either method of treatment, the authors recommend esophageal NMR tomography.
