title: [Benign esophageal strictures--outcomes of coloesophagoplasty in Surgical Clinic II Timişoara].
abstract: Esophagoplasty is obviously a proper choice of treatment; postoperative outcomes should be very good because of benign type of lesions, but morbidity-mortality are high due to the complexity of the intervention. Our purpose is to emphasize the utility of coloesophagoplasty like a very feasible surgical option, based to our short and long term outcomes. This paper relies on the retrospective analysis of all cases admitted to II-nd Surgical Clinic Timisoara in a 20 years period (1983-2002), having coloesophagoplasty for benign esophageal stenosis. There were performed 45 such interventions (16 men, 29 women); the mean age was 35.7 years (15-68 years). The pathology included postcaustic lesions (42 cases), peptic lesions (2 cases) and esophageal leiomyoma (1 case). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 22.6% of patients. The graft functionality was good and very good in 86.6% of patients at discharge. Postoperative mortality was 6.6%.
