Arterial blood supply of the stomach in esophago-gastroplasty with cervical anastomosis

The supply area of each particular stomach artery was illustrated by the Technovit corrosion technique and X-rays. Despite the extensive skeletonization of the stomach, an adequate blood supply was maintained as a whole, especially the extreme fundus area, solely via the A. gastroepiploica dextra. Our research results provide an important basis for total stomach transposition, after the method of Kirschner, as an esophagus replacement.
