A brief history of the artificial oesophagus
Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2011, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Despite the progress in diagnostics procedures, oesophageal cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages. Because of the advanced stage at which it usually presents, treatment of carcinoma of the oesophagus is just palliative in over 70% of patients The surgical treatment of the esophageal cancer is associated in the esophagectomy. Patients following esophagectomy require the esophageal reconstruction. Procedures consisting of translocation or implantation of a pedunculated segment of the alimentary canal are extremely invasive. There are numerous reports regarding improvements of the artificial esophageal using different synthetic and biological materials in the literature. The aim of this paper was to present a short history of the artificial esophagus by citing the most important publications on this topic.
