Abstract

Two cases are described where, after 2 years, a nylon-latex Celestin tube which was left in situ to bypass a benign stricture underwent structural deterioration and produced complications requiring tube replacement. It is recommended that an alternative endo-oesophageal tube should be considered where a lifespan of this order is contemplated.

Sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous esophagoplasty for benign cervical stricture.

Benign strictures of the cervical esophagus that are resistant to dilation present a formidable challenge to the surgeon. Numerous varied techniques have been developed to restore swallowing. Reports of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous pedicled flap for repair of benign cervical strictures are scarce. We are reporting a case of residual lye stricture that was treated with sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous esophagoplasty in order to promote awareness of this procedure. This one-stage operation took 1 hour to complete. The patient began eating on postoperative day 4 and has not had any further symptoms.
