“…ANASTOMOSIS TO THE UPPER PHARYNGEAL REMNANT AFTER PHARYNGECTOMY Stomach.-Following the demonstration by Sweet (1948) and Garlock (1948) that the stomach could be sufficiently mobilized to permit of an anastomosis being performed in the neck between the cervical oesophagus and the gastric fundus after resection of carcinomata of the upper thoracic or cervical esophagus, it was but logical to consider the possibility of effecting a pharyngogastrostomy after pharyngectomy. We are prepared to believe that in exceptionally visceroptotic subjects with a very long J-shaped stomach this might be feasible.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
