Esophageal replacement has been widely used for esophageal diseases. Replacement with autograft leads to great damage and complications. The existing artificial esophagus, however, cannot match the demands of esophageal replacement. The study of tissue engineered esophagus gives hope to solve these problems. This article reviews the progression of tissue engineered esophagus.%食管替代术是很多食管疾病的常用治疗手段.采用自身组织进行食管替代创伤大,术后并发症多,而现有的人工食管很难满足食管替代的要求.利用组织工程技术进行食管的替代研究,为解决这些问题带来了希望.本文就组织工程在食管修复重建外科中的应用及前景进行综述.
