Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the outcomes of colon interposition for alimentary reconstruction after esophagectomy.

Methods

The clinical data of patients undergoing esophagectomy in Shanghai Chest Hospital between June 1985 and June 2015 were reviewed. Colon interposition was performed in 107 of these patients, and the surgical indications, surgical techniques and early outcomes after operation were analyzed.

Results

Eighty-one patients(75.5%) were males. Malignance accounted for 58.9%(63/107), and corrosive injury 28.9%(31/107). The isoperistaltic left colon interposition with blood supply from the ascending branch of left colic artery was the predominant selection of colon transplantation, which accounted for 79.4%(85/107). The retrosternal approach was adopted in 91.6% of patients(98/107). A total of 95.4% of anastomosis(102/107) was in the neck. The mean in-hospital time after operation was (32±22) d (13-121 d). Anastmostic leak took place in 19.6% of patients(21/107), stricture in 8.4%(9/107), and interposed colon necrosis in 1.9%(2/107). The surgical mortality was 0.9%. The history of stomach operation and diabetes were the risk factors of leak.

Conclusions

Colon interposition is the mainstay of the complex esophageal reconstruction, and the morbidity and mortality are acceptable.
