title: [Nutrition support: essential component of preoperative preparation for surgery of the esophagus].
abstract: The authors present their experience with surgical treatment (one-stage replacement of the esophagus) of 113 patients with cicatricial constriction of the esophagus after chemical burn and esophageal achalasia for the recent 10 years. At the present-day stage priority is given to bougienage of the esophagus followed by setting a nasogastric probe for nutrition. Since 2006 the traditional preoperative preparation has included nutrition support with the standard enteral mixture through the nasogastric probe in the volume of physiological requirement for 7-10 days. The proposed method allows improvement of the nutrition status of the patients in short-terms, lessening the number of complications, shorter period of staying at a resuscitation unit.
