Colon interposition for benign esophageal disease.

J C Glasgow, J P Cannon, R C Elkins

    American Journal of Surgery
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Colon interposition surgery effectively relieved symptoms in all patients with benign esophageal strictures. This surgical technique also yielded excellent outcomes for patients with prior failed esophagomyotomy, demonstrating its efficacy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Esophageal Diseases

    Background:

    • Benign esophageal strictures can be challenging to treat, especially when they are nondilatable.
    • Failed esophagomyotomy presents a complex reconstructive challenge.
    • Colon interposition is a surgical option for esophageal reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of colon interposition over a seven-year period.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of colon interposition for nondilatable benign esophageal strictures.
    • To assess the results of colon interposition in patients with prior failed esophagomyotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of patient cases undergoing colon interposition.
    • Analysis of symptom relief and patient satisfaction.
    • Evaluation of outcomes based on indication for surgery (stricture vs. failed myotomy).

    Main Results:

    • All patients who underwent colon interposition reported symptom relief and satisfaction.
    • Colon interposition proved efficacious for nondilatable benign esophageal strictures.
    • In patients with failed esophagomyotomy, 30-month follow-up showed excellent or good results with no operative failures.

    Conclusions:

    • Colon interposition is a highly effective surgical treatment for benign esophageal strictures.
    • This procedure offers a reliable solution for patients with complex esophageal conditions, including failed prior surgeries.
    • Long-term follow-up confirms the durable success of colon interposition in esophageal reconstruction.
