  • Title: [Colonic esophagoplasty for benign lesions].
    Author: Ribet M, Barrat C.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1995; 49(2):133-7. PubMed ID: 7793827.
    Abstract:
    68 patients underwent oesophageal replacement for benign disease: atresia (12), reflux oesophagitis (16), caustic stenosis (37), internal fistula (3). The transplant was the ileocolon (27), the transverse (5) or left colon (36). It was substernal (55) or posterior mediastinal (13). A by-pass was performed without oesophagectomy (51) or an interposition accompanied oesophagectomy (17). The superior anastomosis was cervical (52) or thoracic (16). The inferior anastomosis was on the stomach (46), duodenum (10) or jejunum (12). Hospital mortality was 8.8%, morbidity was 57.3%. Among the 62 survivors, 18 had another operation. At the end of the survey, 68% had near normal function.
