Introduction: Nowadays the level of early and late complications after the operations for esophageal corrosive strictures such as esophago-organ anastomotic leak, development of infections, pneumonia, pleural empyema, mediastinitis, peritonitis, postoperative corrosive stricture development etc. remains rather high. Besides, postoperative mortality rate is high as well – 3.5-30 %. For that reason, an experimental model of esophageal stricture was suggested and ultrastructural mucosal changes in the stricture itself were studied to elaborate the unified pathogenic approach in treatment of esophageal stricture and improvement of its results. The aim of our work was to study the dynamics of ultrastructural changes both in normal esophageal walls and in third degree esophageal stricture.
Materials and Methods: The experiment was carried out on white male rats weighting 250-300 grams, to whom the third degree esophageal stricture model was created. After layer-by-layer incision of anterior abdominal wall abdominal portion of the esophagus was completely ligated (10 rats). In the control group (6 rats) anterior abdominal wall was opened with its subsequent layered closure. The animals were withdrawn from the experiment on the third day by ketamine overdose, and the samples were taken for ultrastructural study.
Results: Electron microscopic study of submicroscopic organization of basal, prickle, superficial epithelial cells in stratified non-squamous epithelium, smooth myocytes of muscle plate and contractile elements in esophageal muscular layer was carried out. Nuclear membrane, membranes of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic Golgi complex were found to be subjected to focal lysis. The third degree esophageal stricture caused destructive lesions in ultrastructural architectonics of stratified non-squamous epithelium cells, smooth myocytes of muscle plate and contractile elements in esophageal muscular layer of rats.
Conclusion: Thus, catabolic processes leading to organelle disintegration develop in esophageal cells of rats with third degree stricture.
