ABSTRACT
Our experience with esophageal replacement by transposition of the right colon with a segment of ileum in patients with cicatricial esophageal strictures caused by the ingestion of caustic agents has been discussed. We demonstrated, by means of the D-xylose test, that the length of ileal segment did not adversely affect the absorptive ability of the intestine, which returned to the preoperative level shortly after the operation and even exceeded that level 12 months thereafter.
