Excessive colonic graft loop

Surgical treatment of diseases of the artificial esophagus is a complex and debatable problem of operative gastroenterology. The modern thematic literature on this issue is extremely scarce and not systematized. Therefore, the demonstration of even single observations is a significant contribution to the overall picture of long-term complications of esophagoplasty, which will eventually allow for a detailed analysis of errors made at the stage of primary reconstruction and the development of effective preventive measures. We present a clinical case of a disease of an artificial esophagus created from the colon.
