Significats de distal esophagus en anglès

We describe a novel technique that replaces the distal esophagus after resection of the gastroesophageal junction.

Purpose: Radiation for carcinoma of the distal esophagus is associated with cardiac perfusion deficits and pericardial effusion.

In contrast, electrophysiological studies concluded that the vagal afferent nerve fibers also densely innervate mucosa in more distal esophagus.

BE was defined as endoscopically recognized presence of salmon-pink mucosa in the distal esophagus and intestinal metaplasia on biopsy.

It is not known whether performing a three-field lymph node dissection is beneficial for patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus.

Methods: In 40 patients with an adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or gastroesophageal junction, blue dye was injected around the tumor intraoperatively.

The distal esophagus was dissected free, and perforations were identified with the help of methylene blue or milk administration through the esophageal tube.

Conclusion: A subgroup of HVs presents a low epithelial integrity in the distal esophagus probably due to the increased presence of physiological acid reflux.

An upper endoscopy with biopsy revealed a gastric Borrmann III tumor, with invasion of the distal esophagus; histopathological analysis revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.

Objective: To assess prognosis according to whether lymph node involvement is intracapsular or with extracapsular breakthrough in adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction.

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a metaplastic process in which the normal squamous epithelium of the distal esophagus is replaced by columnar lined epithelium.

Horizontal gastric corpus tubes might offer an alternative to replace the distal esophagus and proximal stomach after resection of premalignant lesions of the gastroesophageal junction.

Barrett's mucosa (BM) is a field of a specialized metaplastic columnar epithelium replacing the normal stratified squamous epithelium or mucosa lining the distal esophagus.

Materials and methods One hundred ninety-five consecutive patients with T3 adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction between 1990 and 1999 were studied.

Ninety percent of EPs were in the distal esophagus, with 67% of iatrogenic perforations occurring within 4 cm of the gastroesophageal junction.
