横结肠代食管术治疗小儿食管化学烧伤后瘢痕狭窄

目的 了解横结肠代食管术治疗小儿食管严重化学烧伤后瘢痕狭窄的应用价值.方法 回顾分析1972年11月-2008年9月笔者单位收治的46例食管严重化学烧伤患儿的临床资料.患儿均采用保留左结肠动脉升支、经胸骨后隧道顺蠕动方向间植横结肠的方法重建食管,其中行颈食管-横结肠吻合32例、咽-横结肠吻合14例.结果 46例患儿术后无一例死亡,其中7例出现并发症:颈部吻合口瘘4例、吻合口狭窄2例、术后呼吸困难1例.均经再次处理后痊愈.39例患儿随访1～26年,生长、发育、进食情况与同龄儿童无异.结论 左结肠动脉升支供血、横结肠顺蠕动方向、经胸骨后径路作结肠与下咽或颈食管吻合术,是治疗小儿食管化学烧伤后瘢痕狭窄的较佳方法.

Treatment of cicatricial stricture subsequent to esophageal chemical burns with transverse colon replacing esophagus in children

Objective To study the validity of transplanting transverse colon to replace esophagus in treating cicatricial stricture resulting from severe esophageal chemical burns in children. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on the clinical data of 46 patients with severe chemical esophageal burns who were treated from November 1972 to September 2008. The transverse colon with the ascending branch of the left colic artery was brought through a retrosternal tunnel to replace strictured esophagus. Thirty-two patients underwent colonesophageal anastomosis and 14 patients underwent colonpharyngeal anastomosis. Results All patients survived after surgery, but complications occurred in 7 cases, including leakage of anastomosis in cervical region in 4 cases, stenosis of anastomosis in 2 cases, and dyspnea in 1 case, and they were cured after due treatment. Follow-up study ( 1 -26 years) in 39 patients revealed that there was no difference in growth, development and diet between the patients and the normal children of the same age. Conclusions Esophageal reconstruction with transverse colon together with the ascending branch of the left colic artery through a retrosternal tunnel is a valuable method for treating cicatricial stricture of the esophagus secondary to severe chemical burns of the esophagus in children.
