title: [Choice of esophageal plastic surgery].
abstract: The choice of an access to different parts of the esophagus, the need and scope of its resection, the choice of a surgical stage and an organ for creating the artificial esophagus, the position of a graft and the method for forming an esophageal anastomosis are the matters under discussion. A total of 1000 esophageoplasties were performed using different methods. In cancer of the esophagus and its benign diseases, the optimum intervention is esophageal extirpation with one-stage plasty using an isoperistaltic gastric tube; if there are contraindications to this operation, subtotal and total esophageoplasties with the colon are the operations of choice.
