[A method of creating the esophago-small-intestinal anastomosis in gastrectomy]

In order to prevent postoperative complications related with incompetence of esophago-intestinal anastomoses in gastrectomies, fulfilled for gastric cancer, a modification of the formation of anastomosis of the esophagus with the small intestine is proposed. Operations were performed on 47 patients, in 26 of them combined gastrectomies were fulfilled, in 9 patients the formation of esophageal anastomosis followed sagittal diaphragmotomy. The patients operated upon had no complications associated with incompetence of the esophago-intestinal anastomosis.
