Acta Chir Belg 105(6):677-8 (2005) PMID 16438087

Colon interposition has been successfully employed as a oesophageal replacement procedure in paediatric patients. One of the complications of the procedure is gastrocolic reflux. A simple antireflux procedure is reported in this work.

    No anastomotic leak was reported. In cases of malignancy, the resected margins were free of neoplasm. Three deaths occurred, which were not related to anastomotic complications. CONCLUSION: Even though the reported study is an uncontrolled one, the technique described is reliable, and effective for...

    This initial evaluation of a modified fundoplication as an antireflux manoeuvre after oesophagectomy suggests that the technique is effective in controlling post-oesophagectomy reflux in the majority of patients. It is simple to perform and may have benefits in improving quality of life and preventi...

    The ability to perform a hand-sutured intra-thoracic oesophago-gastric anastomosis remains an important skill for surgeons in the developing world to master. In the developed world, this skill is no longer widely practiced due to the prevalent use of surgical staplers in most centres. A simple prepa...
