CONSTRICTING ESOPHAGEAL LESIONS. COLON INTERPOSITION FOR REPLACEMENT, COMBINED WITH RADIOTHERAPY FOR CARCINOMA.
The use of colon for esophageal replacement is a procedure that should be considered in the treatment of benign and malignant esophageal lesions. The five-year survival data following operations for carcinoma of the esophagus are not outstanding. The combination of colon transplantation and radiotherapy before and after operation is a procedure that should be utilized if an effort is to be made to increase the survival rate.
