title: A new reflux-free surgical esophageal intubation technique.
abstract: Pull-through esophageal intubation with a composite, detachable prosthesis allows insertion of the tube only in the narrowing due to the tumor. Using this easy technique, which permits a convenient low, small 3 millimeter gastrotomy, the intra-abdominal contamination is reduced. The end of the tube does not pass across the cardia, so the patient is free from gastroesophageal reflux and its consequences.
