title: [Closed thorax esophagectomy in caustic stenosis of the esophagus].
abstract: The technique of oesophagectomy without thoracotomy using a stripper for oesophageal eversion has been applied to 6 cases of caustic stenosis of oesophagus in infants. This technic has been realized 6 to 18 months after the initial lesion in 5 cases, 13 years in a case. There is neither morbidity nor mortality. This procedure seems well adapted to pediatric indications of oesophagectomy.
