Abstract:
In this article, a new technique for turn-over jejunal graft without kinking of its mesenteric vessels is described. Graft necrosis occurred on a left colon oesophageal reconstruction performed for a 56-year-old-woman. A salvage oesophageal reconstruction was performed by a long-segment, supercharged, pedicled anisoperistaltic ileum. Regurgitations were permanent in spite of medical treatment. Segmental reverse of ileum loops was used to turn over the direction of peristaltism without mesenteric twisting. The technique has never been described previously.
