Objective: To investigate the value of spleen and pancreatic tail thorax translocation on the residual stomach esophagus anastomosis. Methods: 10 patients with esophageal carcinoma after gastrectomy were enrolled in this study.Lesions were removed through left thoracotomy and residual stomach was fully mobilized, with short gastric artery being reserved. Spleen and pancreatic tail were dissected from the back of peritoneum and transposed into thorax. Residual stomach esophagus anastomosis was performed. Results: All the operation went favorably. Patients were recovered rapidly and a relatively good prognosis was acquired. Late leakage and pleural effusion happened in one case respectively, but these complications were cured through conservative management without operation death. Conclusion: Residual stomach is an ideal candidate for the replacement of esophagus and residual stomach esophagus anastomosis is a simple operative alteative with few trauma and good results for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma after gastrectomy.
