title: [Current aspects and controversies in reconstructive surgery after esophagectomy: personal experience].
abstract: The authors report their series of 184 esophagectomies performed both for benign (44) and malignant (140) diseases. On the basis of their experience and supported by Literature data, it is believed restoration of digestive continuity offers two main points of discussion: choice of the intestinal tract for the interposition and type of anastomosis to perform. The nature of the lesion and its level seems to play the most important role in the choice.
