Abstract

In esophageal resections, it is generally difficult to perform reconstruction surgery for suture failure due to a wide range of necrosis of the head of gastric tube following retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction, in term of severe surgical stress for the patient. In this paper we present a new device of gastric tube reconstruction for a patient who developed a wide range of necrosis at the head of gastric tube 5 months after radical operation with retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer. The patient was a 65-year-old man whose elevated retrosternal gastric tube became a blind extremitas. The new device was to perform partial resection of the sternum at the anterior surface of healthy gastric tube, and then to implant a free jejunum between the cervical esophagus and gastric tube through the anterosternal subcutaneous route to complete reconstruction. It was successful in this case.<br> This operative procedure provides relatively less surgical stress than other procedures, and hence it is considered to be a beneficial surgical device for patients who have developed extended necrosis of a gastric tube resulting in a complete obstruction after retrosternal reconstruction.
