AI Article Synopsis
- A 28-year-old man experienced severe difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) due to a rare complication after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for corrosive burns in the esophagus.
- Previous treatments included two unsuccessful attempts at dilating the esophageal stricture.
- The patient underwent complex surgical procedures, including retrosternal colonic bypass, distal Roux-en-Y neoesophagojejunal reconstruction, and a double enterostomy with Braun anastomosis.
Article Abstract
Intractable stricture of the esophagogastric anastomosis after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal corrosive burn is an extremely rare complication. We present the case of a 28-year-old man with complaints of dysphagia and two attempts for bougie dilation without effect. Retrosternal colonic bypass and distal Roux-en-Y neoesophagojejunal reconstruction, as well as double enterostomy with Braun anastomosis, were performed.
