Between 1981 and 1987, 53 of 102 patients with malignant diseases of the oesophagus underwent bypass surgery with gastric, colonic or jejunic interposition. To recognise the early or later complications, we used X-ray examination of the chest, water soluble contrast medium and barium meal, real-time sonography and CT. With these methods we found insufficiencies of anastomosis, stenosis, fistulae to the adjacent organs, necrosis, infections, erosions and ulcerations of the anastomosis, pleuropulmonary complications and metastases. Without of early complications were 30%, without of late complications only 8% of all patients.
