Abstract:
Stomach is the most common conduit used after esophageal resection. However, stomach may not be feasible all the time to use as a conduit. In that setting, colon is an alternative conduit with several advantages. In this article, we are reporting a patient who had underwent multiple dilatation of esophagus for corrosive
stricture esophagus but his symptoms of dysphagia did not subsided. Also patient’s stomach could not be used as a conduit, as he had undergone gastro-jejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction. Hence colon was preferred in this case as a conduit after esophagectomy.Transhiatalapproach for esophageal resection and colon interposition was performed in our case which was firstever documented procedure in Bangladesh,so we are reporting this case of colon interposition via transhiatal route.
