[Ulcer on the presternal tube after esophagoplasty of the greater curvature of the stomach].

Two cases are discussed, of ulcerations that have developed on the pre-sternal tube following oesophagoplasty according to the D. Gavriliu procedure. In the first case the ulceration determined stenozing of the pre-sternal tube necessitating a by-pass at the lower end of the tube with iso-peristaltic transverse colon. In the second case an external fistula developed at the level of the ulceration. After excision and restoration of the tube continuity by suture two more ulcerative episodes were noted, that benefited from drug treatment and excision of the ulceration.
