[Characteristics of postoperative healing in patients with stenoses of the hollow organs of the neck (clinico-morphologic study)].

: In 160 patients, postoperative healing of stenoses of hollow neck organs of various etiology was examined clinically and morphologically. All the patients were divided into 4 groups in terms of the etiological factor as follows: Group 1 (60 patients)--patients with post-traumatic stenoses of the larynx and trachea; Group 2 (34 patients)--patients with post-resuscitation stenoses of the larynx and trachea; Group 3 (38 patients)--patients with bilateral laryngoparalysis that developed after strumectomy; Group 4 (28 patients)--patients with postburn deformation of the pharyngolarynx and esophagus. Pathomorphological changes typical of a chronic inflammatory process were detected in the frontal neck tissues (skin, muscles, cartilages, mucous membrane) of all the patients. Morphologically, the frontal neck tissues were similar in all the patients. In view of this, a large number of suppurative-necrotic complications seen after surgery of stenoses of hollow neck organs (up to 45%) can be attributed to pathological lesions in the frontal neck tissues.
