[Cancers of the thoracic esophagus in gastrectomized patients. Technical problems].
The authors report three cases of carcinoma of the thoracic part of the esophagus who had previously undergone gastrectomy. They study, in the absence of a stomach, the possibilities of restoration of digestive continuity after esophagectomy and describe three possibilities: -- mobilisation and use of the remaining gastric stump; --esophageal resection and anastomosis restoring continuity; -- colonic interposition. Of the three procedures used, only the first and last are advised by the authors.
