Abstract:
Microvascular anastomosis, designed to achieve additional blood flow to the reconstructed site, was carried out in nine patients with intrathoracic esophageal cancer. This procedure prevents the major complications of esophagogastric and esophagocolic anastomotic leaks after subtotal esophagectomy.
