title: [Correction of subtotal esophageal aplasias and extensive artificial esophageal defects by gastric transposition].
abstract: The successful treatment of subtotal oesphageal defects by means of gastric transposition in three children is reported. Two children had a subtotal oesophageal aplasia, one a complete destruction of more than half of the thoracic oesophagus. In two cases the stomach was transposed into the physiological oesophageal bed, in the third the stomach was pulled retrosternally to the cervical region via the anterior mediastinum. All three children developed normally following gastric transposition. Normal oesphageal passage was confirmed radiologically.
