[Resection of the esophagus in cicatrical stenosis with simultaneous creation of esophago-gastric anastomosis].

Based on the author's personal experience with 24 esophageal resections with simultaneous right-sided intrapleural gastroesophageal anastomosis in patients with cicatricial strictures after a chemical burn, it is suggested to revise a negative attitude toward this method of esophagoplasty and widen indications to it in cicatricial strictures of the middle and lower portions of the esophagus.
