  • Supercharged jejunum flap for total esophageal reconstruction: single-surgeon 3-year experience and outcomes analysis.

    Barzin A, Norton JA, Whyte R, Lee GK. Plast Reconstr Surg. 2011; 127 (1): 173-80

    Esophageal reconstruction after total esophagectomy remains a formidable task irrespective of the conduit chosen. Historically, the gastric pull-up and colonic interposition have served as primary choices for such defects. However, where the stomach and colon are unavailable or unsuitable, the jejunum serves as a reliable alternative for the reconstruction of total esophageal defects.
