The authors presented their methods of protecting esophageal grafts made of colon intestine from the gastric reflux to the graft; the methods were invented in their Department and verified in clinical practice. 51 patients had anti-reflux interpositions of jejunal or ileo-cecal segments made during the initial reconstruction or as a reoperation. Despite this, reflux was found on control examination in 12 cases, 8 of which had esophagitis confirmed by histology.
