Four cases of combined pharyngeal and esophageal stricture were managed by pharyngogastrostomy 4 months to 42 years after injury. The stomach was brought up to the neck via the posterior mediastinum after the esophagectomy. A thoracotomy was not used. The results were suprisingly good in 3 patients followed to 3 years. A fourth patient died 6 months after the operation. In those patients benefiting from the operation, regurgitation was minimal when a few precautions were observed. The patients have normal hunger pains and appetite. They are able to eat a full-sized meal. The advantages of stomach compared to colon replacement of the esophagus are discussed.
