title: Repair of stricture and fistula of the antethoracic oesophagogastrostoma using a reversed pectoralis skin pedicle flap.
abstract: A 68-year-old male patient with oesophageal cancer was treated by oesophageal resection and the antethoracic reconstruction was made by using the ventricle. The oesophagogastrostoma developed a necrosis and later a 5 cm stricture and a gastrocutaneous fistula. Both the stricture and the fistula were treated by plastic surgery using a reversed pectoralis skin pedicle flap and free skin graft.
