    Author: Verschuere I, Braxel C, Laukens P, Elewaut A, Barbier F, Derom F.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1983; 83(1):41-4. PubMed ID: 6858526.
    Abstract:
    A case of severe dysphagia following transthoracic truncal vagotomy is reported. Stenosis of the esophagus was due to a periesophageal fibrotic band. Surgical treatment was mandatory and relief was brought by resection of the stricture and restoration of the continuity by colonic interposition. A review of the literature on the subject is presented.
