In the period from 2001 till 2010 there were 117 extirpations of the oesophagus with single-stage plasty of the stomach in 94 patients and plasty of the large intestine--in 23 cases. Gastric resections were performed earlier in 50 (42.7%) patients, though gastrectomy took place in 39 (78%) patients. The accumulated experience allowed making an assessment of immediate and long-term results of esophagoplasty to patients, who had earlier the gastric resection. The incompetence of oesophagogastric anastomosis was noted in 2 times more frequent and the formation of stenosis of given anastomosis in 3 times more often. I order to improve the results of esophagoplasty, the method of serousmyotomy was applied in the cases of remnant stomach.
