title: [Invaginated esophageal anastomosis].
abstract: Extirpation of the stomach accounts for 55.5% of all radical surgery for gastric cancer. Five hundred and sixty-two operations with creation of invaginated esophageal-intestinal (gastric) anastomosis were performed. The surgical technique is presented, its positive points are demonstrated. Main advantages of the invaginated anastomosis are physiologic function in postoperative period and a decreased rate of sutures insufficiency. Complications after extirpation and proximal resection of the stomach were seen in 17.6% cases, 5.9% patients died. Insufficiency of anastomosis sutures was in 8 (14%) patients, 4 (0.7%) of them died.
