title: A technique of repairing acid burns of the stomach.
abstract: A technique of repairing acid burns of the stomach which are followed by fibrosis and stricture formation, is described. The operation has been done on 3 patients with a maximum follow-up of 4 years. The method has an advantage over conventional gastrojejunostomy of enlarging small gastric remnants especially when an oesophageal bypass is either necessary at the same time or later on. Also normal gastroduodenal continuity is maintained.
