Esophagectomy without thoracotomy in corrosive esophageal stricture
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The strictured esophagus is not removed usually in corrosive injury. But corrosion carcinoma and the late complications such as esophago-bronchial fistula, chronic mediastinal abscess, diverticulum can occur in case that strictured & inflammed esophagus be remained. Recently transhiatal esophagectomy is being done with low mortality and morbidity. So we are reporting 2 cases of esophageal stricture in young patients which were treated with transhiatal esophagectomy and esophago-cologastrostomy.
All of 2 cases were successfully treated and recovered. Postoperative esophageal function tests showed the mild reflux but it did not count clinically.
