| pubmed-article:878194 | pubmed:abstractText | The authors have analysed 64 observations of suture incompetency of esophageal anastomosis after resection for cancer of the gastric cardiac portion. Three pathogenic phases and three variants of the clinical course are distinguished in the development of the complication. The successful treatment of the complication largely depends on its recognition and properly selected method of treatment with relation to a variant of the course, a phase of the process and terms of its diagnosis. | lld:pubmed |
