Tumours of the oesophagogastric junction and the gastric cardia can be treated either with proximal or with total gastrectomy. Reflux of bile and other duodenal contents into the oesophagus following proximal gastrectomy has generally been considered worse than reflux after total gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to test this assumption given that there is limited literature regarding objective evaluation of the postoperative duodeno-oesophageal reflux.

    BACKGROUND--The authors undertook an experimental trial, in order to compare one layer interrupted sutured large bowel anastomosis with that of biofragmentable anastomotic ring (BAR). This device creates an inverted serosa-to-serosa anastomosis. It is designed to fragment after hydrolysis and it is...

    We have good results with telescopic anastomosis technique in partial oesophagectomies and gastrectomies. As we could not find data about the healing process of telescopic anastomoses so we started experimenting. Inside pressure tolerance was examined immediately after performing anastomoses by meas...
