Abstract:
Five cases of carcinoma located in the middle portion of the esophagus were resected with end-to-end anastomosis in the left neck. The lower portion (about 2.5-4.0cm in length) of the esophaguswas reserved to preserve the physiological function of the lower esophageal sphincter. The operationwas satisfactory, especially in the prevention of regurgitant esophagitis. No tension was observed at the site "of the anastomosis, and blood supply to the esophagus was not disturbed. Adequate mobilization of the lesser curvature of the stomach was the most important step. Such complications as leakage of the esophageal anastomosis and stricture were not seen in these five cases. Regurgitation was not observed in short-term follow-up. A normal esophageal peristalsis and cardiac opening were observed by barium meal radiography after the operation.
