title: [Surgical stapling instruments in surgical treatment of non-neoplastic tracheoesophageal fistula].
abstract: The experience of treatment of 118 patients with non-neoplastic tracheoesophageal fistulas is presented in the article. Radical surgeries was performed in 85.6% cases, palliative operations - in 4.2% of patients. Conservative therapy was rare (12 patients). The volume of radical interventions was different. There was volume increase in case of concomitant tracheal stenosis or involvement in process adjacent organs and tissues. It is frequent situation last years. Surgical stapling instruments were used in 62 patients during surgery. Domestic (UKS-20, UKS-30, UO-40, UO-60) and import instruments were applied. Postoperative complications were diagnosed in 32.7% of patients. The most complications were determined with exacerbation of inflammation in lungs (exacerbation of purulent bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.). It was not revealed complications determined with surgical stapling instruments using for tracheal or esophageal defects removal in any patients. Relapse in long-term period was observed in 10 radically operated patients. All of them underwent tracheoplastic surgeries on the cervical and thoracic trachea except tracheoesophageal fistula separation. Clearance of the respiratory tract was formed by using of T-tube in the future. Surgical stapling instrument was used only in 2 of these patients during radical surgery. 7 patients were re-operated for tracheoesophageal fistula relapse with good result.
