Technique of Colon Interposition for Oesophageal Replacement for Oesophageal Cancer

Thieme. All rights reserved..

Nowadays, it is only relatively rare and in selected situations that colonic interposition is chosen rather than the stomach as a reconstructive organ for replacing the oesophagus. The colon is a reliable organ for tubular replacement of the oesophagus when the stomach is not available for reconstruction. Colon interposition is a complex and complicated operation. It requires a specific indication and thorough preoperative preparation. From a technical point of view, colon interposition places high demands on the selection and surgical dissection of the vascular supply to the reconstructed organ. The reconstruction route and elevation of the interposition graft to the proximal oesophagus and the need to create 3 or 4 gastrointestinal anastomoses also place significantly higher demands than reconstruction using a gastric tube. Overall, despite the significant surgery-related morbidity, good functional results and a good quality of life can usually be achieved. The surgical technique applied in our own practice is described in detail. An overview from literature on the results of colonic interposition is given, particularly with regard to surgical complications and quality of life after colon interposition.
