[Leak-proof intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis].
The procedure described is intended for lesions of the middle or lower third of the oesophagus, when 5 cm at least of proximal thoracic oesophagus can be preserved. It involves the use of a gastric tube and is facilitated by mechanical sutures. A new fundus is created, together with a sleeve that protects the anastomosis against leakage.
