[Jejunal interposition by the Merendino technique. Report of a case].
A jejunal interposition, as a Merendinos' Technic, was made in a benign esophageal stenosis secondary to acid-peptic disease in the Hospital Central de Valencia, Venezuela. The esophago-jejunal junction was performed by an E.E.A. instrument No. 28. We emphasized the jejunum functional and anatomic advantages as an esophageal substitution organ. We believe that the jejunum, in short esophagus resections, is a good alternative, even though the stomach is the first substitution organ in these procedures, followed by the colon.
