[Construction of a neoesophagus using lyophilized dura. Animal experiment in dogs]. / Bildung eines Neooesophagus aus lyophilisierter Dura. Tierexperimentelle Untersuchungen an Hunden

ABSTRACT

The experiments have proven the feasibility of bridging short oesophageal defects as well as longer ones with lyophilized dura. By means of a two-stage-operation respectively a combined homologous-alloplastik oesophageal prosthesis the risk of insufficiency of anastomoses may be minimized. Thus its clinical application seems worthy of consideration.
