[Immediate esophagojejunal anastomosis after total gastrectomy for caustic necrosis. Apropos of 5 cases].

Five patients have had an immediate recovery of the continuity after total gastrectomy for caustic necrosis by an oesophago-jejunostomy. One patient died of post operative peritonitis no linked with the oesophago-jejunostomy. Two cases had a respiratory infection and one patient had presented a jejuno-jejunostomy fistula. Three healed without sequela. The immediate recovery of the continuity after total gastrectomy for caustic necrosis with moderate lesions of the oesophagus steals the ideal therapeutic attitude.
