Abstract

Between 1965 and 1981 a series of 30 esophageal strictures and one severe refluxoesophagitis have been treated. Till 1977 we used fundoplication, resection of stenosis and gastropexy. Since 1977 we treated 12 strictures by 2/3-gastrectomy with a 45 cm long Y-anastomosis only. Nearly all patients have been completely relieved of the stenosis and all have a dramatic improvement in their dysphagia (follow-up period up to 4 years).
