Abstract

The clinical data, technical considerations, early and late post-operative complications, and long-term follow-up results of esophagocoloplasty in the management of 176 patients with postcorrosive stricture of the esophagus are presented. All 176 colon segments were placed in the isoperistaltic position. Left colon transplants were used in 66.47% and the right colon with terminal ileum was used in 33.52% of patients. The postoperative mortality rate in the entire series was 5.68%. In the past 10 years the postoperative mortality rate was reduced to 1.96%. Long-term follow-up examinations were done for 144 patients (81.81%). Excellent results were noted in 87.50%, satisfactory results in 10.41%, and poor results in 2.08% of surgically treated patients at regular yearly check-ups during a follow-up period ranging from 1 to 24 years after operation.
