Left colon interposition for esophageal reconstruction after perforation by metal blades ingestion: a case report.

Esophageal reconstruction with colonic or jejunal segment is a second choice treatment when the stomach is injured or not adequate for use. These reconstructions, whether pedicled or as free jejunal graft, are technically demanding and they are associated with high rate of morbidity and mortality. Complications are mainly due to insufficient blood supply and therefore anastomotic leak or stricture and graft necrosis.

A novel reconstructive strategy for pancreaticoduodenectomy following Roux-en-Y distal gastrectomy.

The rate of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) performed for both benign and malignant periampullary diseases has increased. In addition, Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy for cancer or ulcer is still widely used. Therefore, a surgeon may be confronted with a partially- gastrectomized patient who needs a PD.
