Abstract
A diverting (posterior) thoracic esophagostomy is a rare, but acceptable, surgical option in some cases. The goal is to save as much esophageal length as possible with a view to future reconstructive surgery. We herein report a 41-year-old woman, in whom a posterior thoracic esophagostomy was successfully created and used for reestablishing further physiological alimentary continuity in a second stage.
