Late morbidity after colon interposition for corrosive esophageal injury: risk factors, management, and outcome. A 20-years experience.

Objective: The aim of this study was to report our experience in the management of late morbidity after colonic interposition for caustic injury and to assess the influence of coloplasty dysfunction on patient outcome.

Summary Background Data: Reports on coloplasty dysfunction after colon interposition for corrosive esophageal injuries are scarce in the literature. Dysfunction of the colonic substitute might jeopardize an already fragile functional result, and appropriate management can improve outcome.
