title: [Radiologic methods in the evaluation of upper esophagoplasties].
abstract: Post-operative radiologic control of esophageal plastic surgical procedures in pathologic conditions of the cervical esophagus involves difficulties due to the poor collaboration of the patient, who swallows only small quantities of contrast medium. Contrast medium injection through esophageal-gastric probes, and its reflux toward the cervical region with the Trendelemburg position and/or straining, enables the demonstration of fistulas otherwise unrecognized.
