[A method of forming the gastric transplant for esophagoplasty]

A principally new method of forming the gastric transplant was developed on the basis of the anatomical investigation of the stomach blood supply, based on the intraorganic vascular way between 3 main collectors of the stomach--the right gastro-omental, left gastric and left gastro-omental arteries. The method was used in 65 patients operated upon with good results.
