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.

Introduction: Ileocolic interposition is often used for the reconstruction of patients with esophageal cancer with a history of gastrectomy. However, graft failure due to conduit necrosis has been reported in 0-5 % of patients. Salvage reconstruction surgery for this situation is considered challenging, and only a few cases of successful salvage operations following failure of ileocolic interposition have been reported.

Article Synopsis
- In the past, kids with a serious condition called long gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) had limited treatment options and often relied on feeding through a tube.
- In 1997, a doctor named John Foker created a new method to help these kids grow their own esophagus using a special system that stretched it over time.
- This new approach faced some skepticism, but it helped start a movement towards better care for children with esophageal issues, leading to the creation of specialized treatment centers and new medical techniques.

Pharyngoesophageal reconstruction is one of the most challenging reconstructive dilemmas that demands extensive planning, meticulous surgical execution, and timely management of postoperative complications. The main goals of reconstruction are to protect critical blood vessels of the neck, to provide alimentary continuity, and to restore functions such as speech and swallowing. With the evolution of techniques, fasciocutaneous flaps have become the gold standard for most defects in this region.

Caustic or corrosive substance ingestion that results in severe esophageal and gastric lacerations frequently requires surgical management. The most common sequelae after an upper gastrointestinal tract caustic injury include non-responding luminal strictures, which are subject to esophageal replacement. Late corrective surgery may include esophagectomy with gastric pull-up and jejunal or colonic interpositions.

Complex esophageal reconstruction represents a high risk and challenging procedure. A dedicated pathway with multispecialty teams can facilitate a systematic checklist approach to perioperative management and evaluation of long-term outcomes. Refinements in the operative technique for supercharged pedicled jejunum (SPJ) for long segment interposition in esophageal reconstruction are reviewed in this article.
