[Diagnosis and treatment of esophageal leyomyoma].
Radical operations for benign esophageal leyomyoma were performed in 50 patients in 1976-2006 in the clinic. Highly informative roentgenologic, endoscopic and ultrasonographic (including intraesophageal) methods were applied in the disease diagnosis, permitting to establish the diagnosis, as a rule, accurately before the operation. The diagnosis was verified definitely, basing on intraoperative revision data and the results of express-histologic investigation of the tumor excised. Extramucosal enucleation of benign leyomyoma with plastic closure of esophageal muscle defect or its suturing was done in 33 (66%) patients. Subtotal esophageal resection was performed in 11 (22%) patients, reconstructive operations--in 10 (20%), including in 5 (10%)--retrosternal esophagocolonoplasty, in 2 (4%)--intrathoracic esophagogastroplasty and in 1 (2%)--retrosternal esophagojejunoplasty. In 2 (4%) patients with small benign leyomyoma the esophageal wall portion resection was performed using suturing apparatus and in 1 (2%)--gastrostomy. Postoperative mortality had constituted 2%. Results of treatment were studied in 46 (92%) patients in 1-18 yrs, 4.8 at average. There were no recurrences. The result was estimated as good in 39 (78%) patients and fair--in 7 (14%).
