Zusammenfassung

Drei Fälle von Strikturen der intrathorakalen Roux-Schlinge nach Ersatz des unteren Drittels des wegen Krebs resezierten Oesophagus werden berichtet. 6 Wochen nach Rekonstruktion traten in jedem Fall fibrotische Strikturen auf, die auf Ischämie zurückzuführen waren, in einem Fall wegen eines reduzierten Butflusses während Digitalisierung, in den beiden anderen Fällen wegen vasculärer Kompression der Versorgungsgefäße wegen nicht zufriedenstellender Dilatation des Hiatus.

Summary

Three cases of stenosis of a Roux loop are presented, following the replacement of the lower third of the esophagus resected for cancer. In each case fibrotic stenosis developed 6 weeks after reconstruction, which was attributed to ischemia: in one case it was due to reduced blood flow during digitalization and in the other two cases to the vascular compression of the supplying vessels because of unsatisfactory dilatation of the hiatus.
