[The restoration of esophageal patency in cicatricial strictures by using magnetic elements].

The authors present their clinical experience (4 observations) with magnetic devices for application of the esophageal anastomosis and removal of its scarring strictures in an area of anastomosis application. They also describe the procedures for introducing the magnetic elements to the site of anastomosis with fiberscopes. The procedure allowed traumatic surgery to be avoided and a stable positive result to be achieved.
