[Esophageal replacement using large intestine--experience with 109 cases].

Use of large intestinal transplants in esophageal replacement is an uncommonly used alternative. The authors discuss its indications in benign, as well as in malignant disorders and, based on them, assign them into three groups. Based on historical data and their professional experience, they present reasons for the commonest uses of particular parts of the large intestine. They evaluate introperative, as well as long-term outcomes.
