title: [The reversed stomach technique of oesophagoplasty (author's transl)].
abstract: A technique of oesophagoplasty using the whole stomach is described and discussed. In this technique, the duodenum is divided and the stomach is turned-up, passed through a retrosternal tunnel and anastomosed with the cervical oesophagus. Continuity of the intra-abdominal digestive tract is restored by anastomosing the gastric fundus with the duodenum. The new technique, successfully used by the authors in 10 patients, is applicable to oesophageal carcinomas as a palliative measure or as the first stage of secondary oesophagectomy; and to oesophageal stenosis consecutive to caustic burns.
