Abstract
Using transhiatal esophagectomy, the ease of performing the cervical e sophagogastric anastomosis varies greatly depending on neck size, leng th of mobilized stomach, and adhesions from previous neck operations, We therefore have developed a technique, used in 45 consecutive patien ts undergoing transhiatal esophagectomy, that has simplified the techn ical performance of cervical esophagogastric anastomosis.
