Abstract
The loss of esophageal length in long-gap esophageal atresia or obliteration of the esophageal lumen due to stricture may require major operative reconstruction. A number of procedures have been developed to allow anatomic replacement of the esophagus. The gastric transposition requires a single cervical anastomosis and uses a gastric conduit with excellent blood supply. This review illustrates the procedure and discusses its indications, planning, and outcome.Entities:
