Six patients are presented in whom an extracorporeal esophagogastric tube bypass was employed in lieu of standard methods of esophageal reconstruction. These tubes, obtained from Japan, have functioned well in 4 of the 6 patients. This approach offers an alternative to gastrostomy feedings alone in a patient with advanced esophageal disease in whom no other method of surgical reconstruction can be offered.
