Of 2410 cases of esophageal diseases, 779 were subjected to resection of the cancer of the esophagus and the cardia in the last 10 years, and 104 of these survived 2 years or more, and 19 for five years or more.
Experience shows that the subcutaneous antethoracic esophago-gastrostomy by the author's method is better adapted to the resection of the cancer of the upper and midthoracic esophagus than any other similar operation. The immediate postoperative death occurred in no more than 8.3% of the cases (SWEET: 25 %, GARLOCK: 38.4%). The author's method proved to excel the intrathoracic esophago-gastrostomy in the remote results, too.
