Abstract
The stomach is the most commonly used conduit for esophageal reconstruction. In some patients, the stomach may not be available (esophagogastrectomy) or not suitable to be used for replacement (previous gastric resections, damage to right gastroepiploic vessels, caustic injury, or other unfavorable situations). In such cases, the colon can be used.
The transverse colon is commonly used for reconstruction as the vascular supply is based on an ascending branch of the left colic artery and the middle colic vein. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
