Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A case of severe dysphagia following transthoracic truncal vagotomy is reported. Stenosis of the esophagus was due to a periesophageal fibrotic band. Surgical treatment was mandatory and relief was brought by resection of the stricture and restoration of the continuity by colonic interposition. A review of the literature on the subject is presented.
