[Our experience in esophago-colonic plastic surgery for esophageal stenosis caused by caustics].
The Authors report their experience (16 cases) in esophago-colon plastic surgery for esophageal stenosis from caustics and emphasize the advantages presented by the colon as a substitute for the esophagus, as compared with the stomach and jejunum. Although the results were equally satisfactory irrespective of the selected segment of colon, the Authors indicate their present preference for the left colon because of some technical aspects making the operation easier and more reliable.
