Abstract
Using transhiatal esophagectomy, the ease of performing the cervical esopha gogastric anastomosis varies greatly depending on neck size, length of mobi lized stomach, and adhesions from previous neck operations. We therefore ha ve developed a technique, used in 45 consecutive patients undergoing transh iatal esophagectomy, that has simplified the technical performance of cervi cal esophagogastric anastomosis.
