title: [Correction of esophageal contracture in its cicatricial stenosis after chemical burn in children].
abstract: Esophageal contracture occurs in presence of its cicatricial changes and is characterized by shortening of the organ, the hiatal hernia of diaphragm formation and reflux-oesophagitis, which supports inflammation in the oesophagus and prevents epithelization of the affection zone, causing further stenosing. In 11 children, aged from 1.5 to 6 yrs, with postburn cicatricial oesophageal stenosis the operative intervention was performed, consisting of oesophageal mobilization in mediastinum and its lengthening according to method of Collis with simultaneous fundoplication. Performance of the oesophageal contracture correction in children had permitted to prevent oesophageal inflammation, to restrict the stenosis progress, secured to do segmental oesophageal resection in 2 observations.
