The first successful transthoracic esophagectomy and intrathoracic esophago- gastric anastomosis reported in 1938. Stomach, small intestine, and colon as well as free revascularized grafts have been substituted for excised esophagus. During the past 60 years, there have been substantial advances in preoperative assessment, nutritional support, anesthetic and operative techniques, and postoperative care of patients undergoing esophageal resection and reconstruction. However the hospital mortality and morbidity of esophageal resection and reconstruction is still high and disruption of an intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis continues to be the most dreaded complication of esophageal surgery, And the choice of the conduit is still controversial. In this paper, I would like to review the current surgical options available to patients who require esophageal resection and reconstruction as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

이론적으로는 공장이나 근막피부판 혹은 근육피판이 여러 차례 실패한 식도재건의 재시도에 사용할 수 있는 장기지만, 다른 장기들도 식도의 대체 장기로 이용이 가능한지 고려해 보아야 한다. 우리는 21년 전 선천성 식도 폐쇄증의 식도 교정술 후 식도협착이 발생되어 식도재건술과 수 차례의 복부 및 경, 흉부 수술을 시행받은 24세의 여자 환자에게 2차 식도재건술을 성공적으로 시행하였다 식도의 재건은 남아 있는 변형된 위를 재단하여 피하경로를 통해 좌측 경부로 올렸으며, 상부 식도에 측 단문합하였다. 환자는 수술 후 일반 식사를 할 수 있는 상태로 호전되어 퇴원하였다.

The reconstruction of esophageal defect after ablative surgery have more difficult than other digestive tract tumor because the restoration of anatomical and physiologic function is difficult, the risk of tumor invasion into the adjacent tissue is large. The reconstruction of cervical esophus was depended on the degree of resection of the esophagus, various reconstruction method was developed to minimize functional deficiency and deformity of cervical region. Recently, the free jejunal transfer or free radial forearm flap was commonly utilized for esophageal reconstruction due to development of technique of the microvascular anastomosis. After the esophageal reconstruction used by free jejunal transfer was reported by Seidenberg in 1951, jejunum is most commonly used for reconstruction of esophgus. Becaue of, it have been tubed anatomical similarity with muscular layer, relative small risk of complication, possible of oral intake within 10 days after operation, and early rehabilitaion. Authors have been treated esophageal defect with free jejunal transfer in 7 patients after resection of lesion in 6 eshageal cancer and 1 esophageal stricture from December 1994 to January 1996. We were transferred jejunum used by intercostal artery as recipient artery in 3 cases, it was satisfied with results. If intercostal artery was utilized as recipient artery for free jejunal transfer, we believe that any site of intrathoracic or intraabdominal esophageal defect is possible to recontruction.

The surgical experience on 18 patients with benign or malignant stricture of the esophagus who underwent isoperistaltic interposition of left colon from April 1989 to July 1991 was reviewed. During same period 22 esophageal reconstructions with colon were performed, but 3 patients who had intraabdominal adhesion in the left upper quadrant and one patient who had uncertainty of blood supply of left colic artery could not undergo iso-peristaltic interposition of left colon. There were 12 male and 6 female patients ranging from 16 to 65 years of age. 12 patients had corrosive esophageal stricture, two had cancer of esophagus, and another two had hypopharyngeal cancer. The postoperative complications developed in 7 patients [38.8%] and most frequently encountered complication was cervical anastomotic leakage, which was successfully managed with simple drainage in all cases but one malignant patient. There was no operative mortality. The esophageal reconstruction with isoperistaltic left colon resulted in good function in 14 patients[77.8%], fair in 3 patients[16.7], and poor in 1 patient[5.6%]. In this experience esophageal reconstruction using isoperistaltic left colon is a satisfactory method that can be accomplished with acceptable morbidity and mortality.

Reconstructive surgical procedures for hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal defects have still a lot of technical defficulties and varieties to be performed as a optimal treatment according to the clinical situation patient faced. We have experienced a case of successful reconstruction of cervical esophageal defect, which was resulted from graft failure of free jejunal transfer in 43 year old male with eso-phagocutaneous fistula, using free fasciocutaneous dorsalis pedis flap. This article describes the review of our case and literature relevant the reconstructive maneuvers of cervical esophageal defects.

Various flaps are using for reconstruction of esophageal defect. The choice of reconstruction is depended to the oncologic needs of the situation. If the entire esophagus or significant part of the thoracic esophagus is involved by tumor, then total esophagectomy and gastric pull-up or colon transposition is indicated. But for most hypopharyngeal tumors, laryngopharyngeal tumors, and cervical esophageal tumors, segmental resection of these area and replacement with a jejunal fee or forearm free flap has become the standard technique. The authors have experienced a case of total pharyngo-laryngo-esophago-gastrectomy and colon transposition in a patient of esophageal cancer following partial esophagectomy and gastic pull-up due to corrosive esophageal stricture. We report this case with brief review of the literatures.

본 국립의료원 흉부외과에서는 식도재건술에 따르는 아주 보기 드문 합병증을 경험하였다. 환자는 1969년 양잿물 섭취에 의하여 일년 뒤 양성 식도협착으로 발전하였다. 1972년 회결장을 이용한 식도 재건술을 실시 하였으나 복부 창상감염으로 농이 배출되었다. 그후로 창상부위에 분열과 유합이 되풀이 되었다. 1996년 이식한 결장의 협착으로 절제술 및 단단문합술을 시행하였다. 술중감염으로 인하여 염증반응이 진행하여 이식물의 협착을 초래하게 되었다고 결론지었다.

Besides gastric pull-up or colonic interposition, microvascular technique in esophageal reconstruction has been approved reliable methods. When free intestinal transfer is considered, jejunal free flap is commonly used. We treated the patient who had undergone reconstruction with a right colon interposition and suffered from inability of swallowing because of stricture and necrosis of the interposed flap. Although we have planned jejunal free transfer, we couldn't use jejunum due to adhesion by previous gastrojejunostomy and colon interposition. Salvage procedure with microvascualr free left colon flap was executed successfully. After 9 month follow-up, the patient was able to consume a normal diet.

Owing to varying clinical definitions of anastomotic stricture following esophageal reconstruction, its reported incidence rate varies from 10% to 56%. Strictures adversely impact patients' quality of life. Risk factors, such as the anastomosis method, leakage, ischemia, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and underlying disease have been mentioned, but conflicting information has been reported. Balloon dilation is regarded as a safe and effective treatment method for patients with benign anastomotic strictures. Reoperations are seldom required. The etiology and management of anastomotic strictures are reviewed in this article.
