title: [Surgical stapler technique for gastric tube formation and anastomosis after esophageal resection].
abstract: 55 out of 62 patients being operated of esophageal carcinoma underwent gastric tube by stapling technique at the Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hospitals and Clinics, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz. In 32 cases the intrathoric anastomosis had been performed by using the circular stapling instrument. One patient (3.2%) out of two (6.3%) showing suture dehiscencies died consequently to this complication. A stenosis of the intrathoric anastomosis developed in 11 patients. The stapling technique convinced as a surgically simple and safe method of restructing the nutrition passage after esophageal resection.
