Abstract:
Venous insufficiency of a right colon interposition in esophageal reconstruction can be a fatal complication resulting in total failure. A case is presented of the salvage of the right colon interposition by additional microsurgical venous anastomosis to relieve the problem of venous stasis. The outcome was successful in a young patient with a complicated medical history.
