    AbstractGastric pull-up is a reliable method of one-stage reconstruction following total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy (TLPE). However, the technique of blunt finger dissection for extrapleural extraction of the oesophagus is liable to produce chest complications like pneumothorax. We report a series of 45 patients who underwent gastric pull-up using the technique of oesophageal extraction by stripping which produced virtually no thoracic complications. This simple technique has greatly reduced morbidity associated with gastric pull-up.
