There were 36 patients with iatrogenic traumas (perforation of the esophagus during diagnostic and curative manipulations and operations on the lungs and esophagus). Different kinds of operations were made depending on the localization of the injury. Three patients of this group died. Criminal traumas of the esophagus (wounds with cold steel) were treated in 21 patients, sutures on the esophagus were put in 19 of them, drainage--in 2 patients. All the patients recovered. Better results of treatment of the penetrating iatrogenic and criminal injuries of the esophagus can be achieved by timely diagnosis and operation using the proper volume and method.
