摘要
Objective To review the results of surgical management of cicatricial esophageal stenosis secondary to chemical burn. Methods Retrospective study was carried out on 30 children ( male 20, female 10 ) with esophagageal cicatricial stenosis. The mean age was 29 months (17 to 60 months) and body weight ranged from 5 to 20 kilograms. One child ingested pesticide whereas the remaining ingested acidic of caustic solutions. There children had complete obliteration of cervical esophagus, 5 had near-complete obliteration and the remaining showed stringy esophageal outline on barium meal study. Five children developed stridor and inspiratory dyspnea. Six children had previous gastrostomy. All patients underwent retrosternal colonic replacement based on left ascending colonic artery. Results Post-operatively, one patient developed anastomotic leakage and one anastomotic stenosis. One patient underwent a post-operative tracheostomy. There was no mortality. All patients were followed-up for 4-20 years with normal

Results Post-operatively, one patient developed anastomotic leakage and one anastomotic stenosis. One patient underwent a post-operative tracheostomy. There was no mortality. All patients were followed-up for 4-20 years with normal development. Conclusion Colonic replacement offers the best treatment of esophageal stenosis secondary to chemical bum. One-stage esophagectomy is dangerous and esophagocolostomy is preferred. The anastomosis should be performed at the cervical level. 7 refs.
