Significance Statement: This case highlights the consequences of colon interposition on phonation and swallowing. Findings in this patient included laryngopharyngeal reflux, vocal fold paralysis, poor esophageal peristalsis, failed bolus transfers, and others. The mechanical and functional differences between the colon and the esophagus can impact bolus transfer, reflux, and phonation. Further research is required to identify the mechanisms by which colon interposition can impact voice and swallowing.

Background: Corrosive substance ingestion is rare but can cause severe injury, especially to the upper gastrointestinal tract, and can be a potentially fatal event. Various surgical procedures have been advocated for gastroesophageal reconstruction, but especially those using the right colon, when the ileocecal valve is preserved for gastric reconstruction, are briefly exposed in literature and have not been studied in humans by controlled studies. Using the right colon is believed to be beneficial because of the anti-reflux mechanism of the ileocecal valve.

This study investigated the clinical outcomes of gastric conduits for esophageal reconstruction in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who had previously undergone endoscopic resection of the stomach. From January 2006 to April 2023, a total of 1964 patients underwent surgery for esophageal cancer at our institution. After initially excluding 125 of these cases due to a histology other than ESCC, we identified 147 patients in the remaining population who had previously undergone a gastric endoscopic resection, among which 56 patients (67.
