Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - When native esophagus is not available, there are a number of esophageal replacement techniques that are effective in restoring the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract.Selection of the appropriate technique depends on the anatomy and function of the stomach, the availability of the colon, and the experience and preference of the surgeon.The 2 dominant replacement procedures are colon interposition and gastric pull-up.
