| Abstract: | The article discusses information on experience in the formation of 367 extracavitary esophageal anastomoses in esophagoplasty with a tube formed from the greater curvature of the stomach in malignant esophageal tumors. Four main types of anastomosis were encountered: oblique--142, end to end--101, end to side--91, and atypical--33. Various complications occurred in 40.3% of patients, in end to side anastomosis in 26.3% of cases. The authors discuss in detail the operative techniques and the indications for this type of anastomosis. The authors consider it preferable to form the extracavitary esophagogastric anastomosis on the posterior wall of the transplant with a decompression stoma. |
