Summary With the increased experience which has been gained during recent years, transposition of the colon can be regarded as a valuable method when for various reasons it is desirable to replace the whole or parts of the oesophagus. A series of 6 patients operated on by the retrosternal technique with good results is reported. On the basis of this series the advantages and disadvantages of this method are discussed and compared with other types of replacement of the oesophagus by colonic transposition.
