[Reconstruction of the digestive tract after total gastrectomy. Comments and results in 27 patients operated on by a personal procedure].

The author presents the results obtained from his procedure of reconstruction of the gastro-intestinal tract after total gastrectomy. Only one patient presented a serious oesophagitis. Blood and stool examinations and esophagoscopic and radiological investigations were very satisfactory. The author concludes by outlining the advantages of this procedure, used by him since 1975 and which was proposed in the Journal of Surgery in 1976.
