Constructional model of internal oesophageal prosthesis

Purpose: The aim of this work is to study of constructional model of internal prosthesis of oesophagus with determined functional features; the prosthesis will replace the upper part of the digestive system – the oesophagus. Design/methodology/approach: Constructional model of internal prosthesis of oesophagus was worked out in the basis of physiological build of oesophagus considering surgical techniques. Findings: Development of optimal constructional model of internal prosthesis of oesophagus considering functional features and surgical techniques. Research limitations/implications: Developed constructional model of modern, internal prosthesis of the human oesophagus will be used to design the manufacturing technology and to manufacture given prosthesis. Originality/value: Worked out construction is the part of the research project realized by authors, that will result in cognitive, constructional and technological effects, but first of all, it will enable the real help very sick people.
