title: Gastric esophagoplasty for esophageal carcinoma.
abstract: The 30 years experience includes 293 esophageal resections for carcinoma, completed with esophagogastrostomy at the thoracic or cervical level. Resections were performed according to the method of Garlock (73), Lewis (178), and Dobromyslov-Torek (36). This paper compares isoperistaltic esophagoplasty with whole or resected stomach (257) and antiperistaltic esophagoplasty with a tube from the greater gastric curvature (36). We will assess the choice of an esophageal substitute, the creation of esophagogastric anastomosis, and the functional consequences of surgical intervention.
