title: [Surgical treatment of carcinoma of the oesophagus (author's transl)].
abstract: Cervical oesolphagogastrostomy (Kirschner's operation) was performed on 16 patients with carcinoma of the oesophagus. There were five hospital deaths (two due to myocardial infarction). The average hospital stay of the survivals was 22 days. This operation is preferred to colon interpolation because it requires only one anastomosis, which is extrathoracic.
