Abstract
Recommendations for optimization of surgical and conservative treatment tactics of penetrating esophageal injuries are presented on the basis of own data of features of the clinical course of esophageal injuries depending on the age and etiology. The main factors of esophageal suture failure formation were the etiological factor of TP (p=0,031), duration of period between TP and surgery (p=0,047), severity of general condition (p=0,016), and presence of purulent-infectious complications during hospitalization (0,002≤p ≤0,026).
