Abstract
Introduction
Combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy poses a challenge for reconstruction.
Case Report
We report a case of a combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy for synchronous pancreatic and esophageal cancer, with reconstruction using a supercharged jejunal interposition.
Discussion
The supercharged jejunal anastomosis is a versatile option for foregut reconstruction.
