Peptic stricture of the oesophagus: the role of oesophagogastrostomy.

Sixteen patients with severe peptic stricture of the oesophagus were treated by oesophagogastrostomy at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, during the period 1948 to 1968. It has been possible to obtain a follow up on all patients, so that the period of follow up has varied from seven to 24 years. Although the early postoperative results were promising, later problems occurred in over half of the patients, the major complication being recurrence of peptic stricture at the anastomotic site.
