[The technic of esophageal extirpation with one-stage esophagoplasty using a stomach tube]
Abstract:
The article deals with the technical aspects of operation for extirpation of the esophagus through a cervico-abdominal approach in carcinoma (133 operations) and benign esophageal strictures (117 operations) with one-stage plastics by means of an isoperistaltic tube formed from the greater curvature of the stomach. The relative safety (2.8% of patients died) and high efficacy of the described operation allow it to be recommended for wide introduction into the practice of institutions engaged in surgery of the esophagus.
