Medical - Medical (general) / Internal medicine | | German term or phrase: Hochzug | In a German medical report with several gastrointestinal procedures for esophageal cancer, patient at one time underwent "Magenhochzug" and then another time "Colonhochzug". I decided to just ask one question, assuming "Hochzug" itself would have an equivalent in medical English. Here are the words used in context (there is not more detailed context):
"Z.n. abd.thor.Oesophagektomie mit Magenhochzug und intrathorakaler Anastomose."
"...Wiederstellung der Kontinuität mittels Colon-Hochzug, zervikale Ösophagoileostomie..."
What would be the best medical English translation?
Thanks,
Stephen |
