Result of esophageal reconstruction using supercharged interposition colon in corrosive and Boehave's injury: Thammasat University Hospital experience.

UNLABELLED

Seven esophageal reconstructions with interposition colon in severe suicide corrosive ingestion and Boehave's injury at Thammasat University Hospital were presented. Vascular enhancement (as called "supercharge") were done. Only one patient had micro-leakage at pharyngeal anastomosis with healed by conservative treatment and no late anastomotic stricture. The operation need more time and general surgeon skill but better comparison outcome.

CONCLUSION

Using supercharged interposition colon in adult esophageal reconstruction in corrosive and Boehave's injury was benefit in lower the incidence of anastomotic leakage and late anastomotic stricture. Just a longer operative time and vascular anatomizes skill were need.
