Abstract
- Although esophageal reconstruction using the stomach is common in surgery for esophageal cancer, this procedure sometimes results in delayed gastric emptying and reflux. This is a case report of reoperation for intractable obstruction of the stomach after initial esophageal surgery in a 59-year-old man. The obstruction was resistant to conservative management. We resected the duodenum, preserving the vascular pedicle of the right gastroepiploic vessels, and performed reconstruction with a Roux-en-Y procedure in the second operation. There was marked improvement in gastric emptying.
