The examination of 119 corpses, experiments in 67 dogs and clinical management of 127 patients with the II-III degrees of cancer of the middle third of the esophagus have supported new methods of esophagoplasty by a tube from the greater curvature of the stomach with highly germetic sutures, longer transplants and diaphragmo-percutaneous conduction of it onto the neck. The method is shown to be more safe, less traumatic, not followed by functional alterations of the heart, lungs, diaphragm.
