Several well-described options exist for reconstruction after total esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma. We present the case of a patient who was treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus; the patient had undergone treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiation and free jejunal transfer for a cervical esophageal tumor 13 years earlier. Through a three-field approach, esophagectomy and reconstruction with a cervical gastrojejunal anastomosis were performed.
