title: Cervical esophago-esophageal anastomosis.
abstract: We describe our results with cervical esophagoesophageal anastomosis. This approach has been used with success in 4 patients. It has the advantage of avoiding esophagectomy in patients with benign disease and allows restoration of esophageal continuity in patients having limited options for esophageal replacement.
