  • Title: [Removal of esophagus using a one-stage repair].
    Author: Chernousov AF, Domrachev SA.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1993 Jun; (6):69-73. PubMed ID: 8246388.
    Abstract:
    The article deals with the results of operations performed on 306 patients for extirpation of the esophagus and one-stage total esophagoplasty with the formation of the anastomosis on the neck. The operation was conducted on 178 patients with carcinoma and 128 patients with benign esophageal strictures. The authors claim this operation to be the operation of choice in esophageal carcinoma, cardioesophageal carcinoma, burn and peptic strictures, and in patients with stage IV cardiospasm. An isoperistaltic gastric tube or the large intestine is used for replacement of the esophagus. The postoperative mortality rate was 3.3%. The immediate and late-term results of this operation are much better than those of the other types of esophagoplasty. The authors recommend the operation to be used widely in the practice of specialized clinics for the management of the above mentioned diseases.
