Function of the Intrathoracic Stomach

  • Conference paper
Diseases of the Esophagus

Abstract

The procedure of first choice for esophageal replacement is gastric interposition [1]. Preparation of the stomach as an esophageal substitute causes severe changes in gastric blood supply, reservoir, parietal cell mass, innervation, form, and localization. The surgical procedures have effects on gastric secretion, motility, gastric emptying, and gastroesophageal and duodenogastric reflux. In this study these effects were investigated to better comprehend postoperative morbidity and to evaluate the function of the intrathoracic stomach in comparison to other organs for esophageal replacement.
