Abstract
- Ten years after colonoplasty using the left colon for impassable corrosive stricture of the esophagus, a 27-year-old woman developed volvulus and gangrene of the remaining intra-abdominal colon. It was resected and colostomy was done. In the second stage, after 3 months, the ascending colon and cecum were mobilized and anastomosed to the rectal stump. Eight years later, the patient is asymptomatic.
