title: [Surgical treatment of cancer in the middle 3d of the esophagus].
abstract: 19 cases with carcinoma of the middle third of the oesophagus were treated by resection in one session by laparotomy and right thoracotomy: in two cases with instrumental perforation substitution of the oesophagus by stomach via the retrosternal route--in 15 cases resection and high intrathoracal oesophagogastrostomy--in 2 cases resection and colon interposition because of previous gastric resection. 2 patients died postoperatively. 2 patients survived more than 5 years. There is an indication for resection in all functionally and technically operable cases.
