abstract: Results of coloesophagoplasty in 366 patients with long burn strictures of the esophagus are presented. The lesion was total in 74 (21.2%) of them. Inefficacy of bougieurage was indication for plastic surgery in 133 (36.3%) patients, complete obliteration of esophagus--in 53 (14.5%). Left half of the colon was used in 296 (80.9%) cases, transverse colon--in 48 (13.1%), right half of the colon--in 22 (6.0%) cases.
