    Abstract:
    Not infrequently cancer of the middle and lower thirds of the esophagus metastasizes into the subfrenic lymph nodes, which justifies a revisional laparotomy for completing the diagnosis of the tumor process spreading. A peduncular gastrostomy is carried out at the revisional laparotomy. A one-stage operation of extirpation and plasty of the esophagus with a stomach tube, housed in the bed of ablated esophagus, involves a great risk and is followed by a high fatality rate.
