title: [Possibilities of recanalization of cicatricial strictures of esophagus].
abstract: Long-term results of recanalization of the esophagus by orthograde bouginage through the guide and by endoprosthesis post-burn strictures were evaluated in 105 patients. The application of these methods enabled in 81% of patients to achieve steadfast restoration of esophageal continuity, sufficient enough for adequate feeding. Orthograde bouginage of the esophagus through the guide showed to be effective in 45.5% patients with strictures up to 100 mm length and over 6 mm in diameter, the end of the bouge being not more than 1.5 kg. Endoprosthetic procedure provided to achieve restoration of esophageal continuity in 95% of patients.
