Esophageal cancer is frequently treated with esophagectomy, which is associated with distinct complications. Delayed gastric conduit emptying is a well-recognized complication that usually occurs within the postoperative period. By contrast, gastric tube volvulus is a rarer complication with a more variable time course of onset after esophagectomy and can be mistaken for delayed gastric conduit emptying. We describe the fifth reported case of gastric tube volvulus occurring years after esophagectomy and its successful treatment via endoscopic stenting.
食管癌通常采用食管切除术进行治疗，该手术会伴随一些特定的并发症。胃代食管延迟排空是一种公认的并发症，通常发生在术后阶段。相比之下，胃管扭转是一种较为罕见的并发症，在食管切除术后发病时间过程更为多变，且可能被误诊为胃代食管延迟排空。我们报道了第五例食管切除术后数年发生的胃管扭转病例及其通过内镜支架置入术成功治疗的情况。
