  • Title: [One-stage total and intrapleural esophagoplasty in cancer and benign esophageal strictures].
    Author: Chernousov AF, Domrachev SA.
    Journal: Grud Serdechnososudistaia Khir; 1991 Nov; (11):51-5. PubMed ID: 1764314.
    Abstract:
    The authors compared the results of one-stage intrapleural (114 patients) and total esophagoplasty (214 patients). The immediate postoperative results are better in total esophagoplasty both in carcinoma and in benign strictures of the esophagus. Incompetence of the esophageal anastomosis is much less dangerous on the neck than in the pleural cavity. The authors recommend wider performance of total plastics of the esophagus with its replacement by an isoperistaltic gastric tube.
