We have operated upon six patients with cervical esophageal carcinoma and reconstructed these with free jejunal graft. The pathology of all six patients was squamous cell carcinoma, and no patient had apparent distant metastasis. The procedure was a two team approach. While the surgical oncology tea

β¦ Synopsis
The need to more fully understand the function and physiology of the free jejunal graft prompted us to develop a new canine model. Twelve dogs were used to transplant a free jejunal graft in the neck with proximal and distal stomas exteriorized to the skin. The techniques used, complications encountered, and the potential for acute and chronic studies with this animal model are presented.

Forty-seven patients underwent pharyngoesophageal reconstruction using a free jejunal interposition graft (FJIG) at Duke University Medical Center from 1978 through 1987. There were 30 men and 17 women with ages ranging from 38 to 87 years old (mean age, 64 years). Twenty-one patients (group A) had
Various models have been proposed to examine blood-prosthetic materials interactions in terms of the effect of the prosthetic material on platelet structure and function, blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, and tissue infiltrates (cellular or acellular). In addition, these models have been used to e
We have refined the experimental canine vascularized fibula model in 26 dog experiments. Our results have demonstrated that both periosteal and endosteal blood flow are retained following end-to-end anastomosis of the bone graft pedicle artery and vein. The success of this model depends on detailed
## Abstract This paper describes a new canine segmental spinal fusion model for the comparison of boneβgrafting materials. The test sites in the model are three separate posterior interfacetβinterlaminar fusion sites in the lumbar spine (L1β2, L3β4, and L5β6). The outcome was assessed by scoring of
