Surgical reconstruction of the oesophagus.
Reconstructive oesophageal surgery underwent 322 patients in our clinic. The surgery was indicated because of cicatrical obstructions or cancer of the thoracic part of the oesophagus. The continuity of the alimentary tract was re-established by pedunculated intestinal segment from the jejunum, ileum or left side of the colon in the anisoperistaltic position. The right side of colon was used either in iso- or anisoperistaltic position. The follow-up after completion of the reconstructive operation ranges from 1-40 years.
