[Resection of the esophagus in patients with sequelae of chemical burns].

Indications for resection of the esophagus in cicatricial constriction were elaborated on the basis of 58 cases of resection of cicatricially changed thoracic esophagus. Comparative analysis of gastric secretory and motor-evacuative function after two variants of esophageal resetion (after Dobromyslov-Torek and with preservation of the trunks of the vagus nerves) showed the efficacy and expediency of leaving intact the vagus nerves in resection of a cicatricially changed esophagus in the presence of appropriate indications.
