Abstract
The management of gastrointestinal complications in patients with complex medical history poses significant challenges to healthcare clinicians. A 42-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with excruciating abdominal pain and signs of bowel obstruction. The patient had a previous history of schizophrenia and esophageal stricture, treated 6 years ago with colonic esophageal interposition. From the computed tomography scan, intussusception of the jejunum in the colonic graft was revealed, which resolved spontaneously after a few hours probably due to the oral contrast. Although, colonic esophageal interposition is a life-saving procedure for long-esophageal strictures, there are rare complications that are still not clearly reported. Jejunocolic intussusception should raise awareness of the clinicians, as one of the potential complications of colonic esophageal interposition.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is only relatively rare and in selected situations that colonic interposition is chosen rather than the stomach as a reconstructive organ for replacing the oesophagus. The colon is a reliable organ for tubular replacement of the oesophagus when the stomach is not available for reconstruction. Colon interposition is a complex and complicated operation. It requires a specific indication and thorough preoperative preparation. From a technical point of view, colon interposition places high demands on the selection and surgical dissection of the vascular supply to the reconstructed organ. The reconstruction route and elevation of the interposition graft to the proximal oesophagus and the need to create 3 or 4 gastrointestinal anastomoses also place significantly higher demands than reconstruction using a gastric tube. Overall, despite the significant surgery-related morbidity, good functional results and a good quality of life can usually be achieved. The surgical technique applied in our own practice is described in detail. An overview from literature on the results of colonic interposition is given, particularly with regard to surgical complications and quality of life after colon interposition.

Abstract
The reconstruction of the esophagus after esophagectomy presents many technical and management challenges to surgeons. An effective gastrointestinal conduit that replaces the resected esophagus must have adequate length to reach the upper thoracic space or the neck, have robust vascular perfusion, and provide sufficient function for an adequate swallowing mechanism. The stomach is currently the preferred conduit for esophageal reconstruction after esophagectomy. However, there are circumstances, where the stomach cannot be utilized as a conduit. In these cases, an alternative conduit must be considered. The current alternative conduits include colon, jejunum, and tubed skin flaps.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY We describe the short- and medium-term outcomes following open and laparoscopic assisted oesophageal replacement surgery in a single tertiary paediatric surgical centre. METHODS A retrospective review (institutional audit approval no. 3213) on patients who underwent open or laparoscopic-assisted oesophageal replacement (OAR vs. LAR) at our centre between 2002 and 2021 was completed. Data collected (demographics, early complications, stricture formation, need for oesophageal dilatations, and mortality) were analysed using GraphPad Prism v 9.50 and are presented as median (IQR). RESULTS 71 children (37 male) had oesophageal replacement surgery at a median age of 2.3 years (IQR 4.7 years). 51 were LAR (6 conversions). Replacement conduit was stomach (n = 67), colon (n = 3), or jejunum (n = 1). Most gastric transpositions had a pyloroplasty (46/67) or pyloromyotomy (14/67). Most common pathology was oesophageal atresia (n = 50 including 2 failed transpositions), caustic injury (n = 19 including 3 due to button battery), stricture of unknown cause (n = 1), and megaoesophagus (n = 1). There were 2 (2.8 %) early postoperative deaths at 2 days (major vessel thrombosis), 1 month (systemic sepsis), and one death at 5 years in the community. The rate of postoperative complications were comparable across LAR and OAR including anastomotic leak, pleural effusions, or early strictures. More patients with caustic pathology needed dilatations (60 % vs 30 % in OA, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Outcomes of open and laparoscopic-assisted oesophageal replacement procedures are comparable in the short and medium term. Anastomotic stricture is higher in those with caustic injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For patients with cancer or injury of the esophagus, esophagectomy with reconstruction using the stomach (gastric pull-up, GPU) or colon (colonic interposition, CI) can restore function but is associated with high morbidity. We sought to describe the differences in outcomes between the two replacement organs using a national database. METHODS From ACS-NSQIP, patients who underwent GPU or CI between 2006 and 2020 were identified. Univariate analyses were performed on length of stay, complications, reoperation, readmission, and mortality. Variables with P ≤ 0.2 were included in the multivariate regression. Primary outcomes were 30-day reoperation, readmission, and mortality. Data were assessed using Chi-squared tests and logistic regression. RESULTS There were 12,545 GPU and 502 CI patients. GPU patients were older with higher BMI, and more likely to be male (80.3% versus 70.3%, P < 0.0001) and white (77.8% versus 69.1%, P < 0.0001). More GPU patients had independent functional status and underlying bleeding disorders, but fewer other preoperative comorbidities than CI patients. On univariate analysis, CI patients had longer hospital stays (13 versus 10 days, P < 0.0001); more reoperations (23.9% versus 14.5%, P < 0.0001); a lower rate of discharge to home (70.9% versus 82.1%, P < 0.0001); and a higher mortality rate (6.2% versus 2.9%, P < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, CI was associated with increased risk of reoperation but not with readmission or mortality. Reoperation was associated with CI, smoking, chronic wound, hypertension, higher ASA class, contaminated or dirty wound class, and longer operative time. Readmission was associated with female gender, hypertension, and longer operative time. Mortality was associated with age, metastatic cancer, preoperative sepsis, preoperative renal failure, malignant esophageal disease, higher ASA class, incomplete closure, and longer operative time. CONCLUSION Colonic interposition, although a more difficult option with traditionally worse outcomes, should still be considered for patients requiring esophagectomy if the stomach cannot be used to restore continuity, as differences in outcomes appear to be due to underlying frailty of patients rather than the procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The choice of Esophageal replacement (ER) depends on surgeons' preference and patients' anatomical condition. A cross-sectional study was done to compare the long-term outcomes of two methods of ER, Gastric transposition (GT) and Colonic interposition (CI). METHODS Children who had undergone ER from January 1997 to December 2017 with a minimum of two-year post-ER follow-up were evaluated by anthropometry, hepatobiliary scintigraphy, gastroesophageal reflux study, gastric emptying test, pulmonary function test and blood tests. RESULTS Twenty-six (Male:female=17:9) children were recruited. The median age at ER was 13 months (interquartile range 9-40 months) and mean follow-up post-ER was 116.7 ± 76.4 months (range 24-247 months). GT:CI was done in 15(57.7%):11(42.3%) cases. A greater number of abnormal oral contrast studies (p = 0.02) and re-operations (p = 0.05) were documented as baseline characteristics with CI group. The presence of gastroesophageal reflux 9/23(39.1%), duodenogastric reflux 6/24(25%), delayed gastric emptying 6/25(24%), abnormal pulmonary function test 14/22(63.6%) were documented during the study period. However, there was no significant(p>0.05) difference in nutritional, developmental and functional outcomes of both operative methods of ER in the study. CONCLUSION Assessment of nutritional, developmental and functional parameters in children after ER reveals good long-term results. There was no significant difference in CI and GT. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Comparative study; II.

Predictive factors for the success of endoscopic dilation of esophageal caustic stricture: the experience of a French tertiary reference center. Surg Endosc 2022; 36:5660-5668.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predictors of the efficacy of endoscopic dilation for caustic esophageal stricture have been poorly studied. METHODS All patients undergoing an endoscopic dilation for an esophageal caustic stricture between 1990 and 2015 in a French national reference center were included. Success of dilation was defined by self-food autonomy without the need for reconstructive esophageal surgery. RESULTS During the study period, 894 patients were admitted after caustic ingestion. Among them, 101 patients developed esophageal stricture and 92 patients were eligible for analysis (missing data in 8 cases, 1 patient died before endoscopic dilation). In this cohort (median age 42 years, women 53%, strong alkali 74%, suicide attempt 77%, hydrostatic balloon use 93%), the overall success rate of dilation was 57% with a median number of 3 dilation sessions (274 sessions, range 1-17). Factors predicting the success of the procedure were: non-inflammatory stricture or non-inflammatory intercalated mucosa between stricture (88% vs 47%, p = 0.001), a single stricture versus 2 or more strictures (69% vs 47% vs 33%, respectively, p = 0.04), a stricture of less than 5 cm (70% vs 27%, p < 0.001) and the existence of mild/ moderately tight or very tight stricture (70% vs 21% of success, p < 0.001). Perforation rate was 6.5% (18/274) requiring emergency surgery in 2 cases. CONCLUSION Several characteristics of caustic esophageal strictures are significantly associated with the success rate of endoscopic dilation. Our data may be useful for customizing treatment strategies in patients with a caustic stricture.

Abstract
Importance Caustic ingestion in adults may result in death or severe digestive sequelae. The scarcity of nationwide epidemiological data leads to difficulties regarding the applicability of their analysis to less specialized centers, which are nevertheless largely involved in the emergency management of adverse outcomes following caustic ingestion. Objective To assess outcomes associated with caustic ingestion in adults across a nationwide prospective database. Design, Settings, and Participants Adult patients aged 16 to 96 admitted to the emergency department for caustic ingestion between January 2010 and December 2019 were identified from the French Medical Information System Database, which includes all patients admitted in an emergency setting in hospitals in France during this period. Exposure Esophageal caustic ingestion. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was in-hospital patient outcomes following caustic ingestion. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess independent predictors of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Results Among 22 657 226 patients admitted on an emergency outpatient basis, 3544 (0.016%) had ingested caustic agents and were included in this study. The median (IQR) age in this population was 49 (34-63) years, and 1685 patients (48%) were women. Digestive necrosis requiring resection was present during the primary hospital stay in 388 patients with caustic ingestion (11%). Nonsurgical management was undertaken in 3156 (89%). A total of 1198 (34%) experienced complications, and 294 (8%) died. Pulmonary complications were the most frequent adverse event, occurring in 869 patients (24%). On multivariate analysis, predictors of mortality included old age, high comorbidity score, suicidal ingestion, intensive care unit admission during management, emergency surgery for digestive necrosis, and treatment in low-volume centers. On multivariate analysis, predictors of morbidity included old age, higher comorbidity score, intensive care unit admission during management, and emergency surgery for digestive necrosis. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, referral to expert centers was associated with improved early survival after caustic ingestion. If feasible, low-volume hospitals should consider transferring patients to larger centers instead of attempting on-site management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue engineering is an attractive alternative to conventional esophageal replacement techniques using intra-abdominal organs which are associated with a substantial morbidity. The objective was to evaluate the feasibility of esophageal replacement by an allogenic decellularized esophagus in a porcine model. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the benefit of decellularized esophagus recellularization with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells and omental maturation of the decellularized esophagus. METHODS Eighteen pigs divided into 4 experimental groups according to mesenchymal stromal cells recellularization and omental maturation underwent a 5-cm long circumferential replacement of the thoracic esophagus. Turbo green florescent protein labelling was used for in vivo mesenchymal stromal cells tracking. The graft area was covered by a stent for 3 months. Clinical and histologic outcomes were analyzed over a 6-month period. RESULTS The median follow-up was 112 days [5; 205]. Two animals died during the first postoperative month, 2 experienced an anastomotic leakage, 13 experienced a graft area stenosis following stent migration of which 3 were sacrificed as initially planned after successful endoscopic treatment. The stent could be removed in 2 animals: the graft area showed a continuous mucosa without stenosis. After 3 months, the graft area showed a tissue specific regeneration with a mature epithelium and muscular cells. Clinical and histologic results were similar across experimental groups. CONCLUSION Circumferential esophageal replacement by a decellularized esophagus was feasible and allowed tissue remodeling toward an esophageal phenotype. We could not demonstrate any benefit provided by the omental maturation of the decellularized esophagus nor its recellularization with mesenchymal stromal cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric pull-up after esophagectomy is still a demanding surgical procedure and associated with considerable morbidity such as anastomotic leaks, fistulas or stenoses. These complications are usually managed by endoscopy, but in extreme cases multidisciplinary management including reoperations may be necessary. Here, we report managing therapy-refractory pseudoachalasia after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy by bypassing colonic pull-up.
CASE SUMMARY A 70-year-old male with dysphagia and regurgitation after esophagectomy with gastric pull-up reconstruction was transferred to our tertiary hospital. Since endoscopic approaches including balloon dilatation and stenting failed, retrosternal colonic pull-up with Roux-en-Y reconstruction was performed with no subsequent adverse events.
CONCLUSION Secondary colonic pull-up is a demanding but successful surgical procedure in patients suffering from therapy-refractory complaints after esophagectomy with gastric pull-up reconstruction.

Assessment of long-term results of repeated dilations and impact of a scheduled program of dilations for refractory esophageal strictures: a retrospective case-control study. Surg Endosc 2021; 36:1098-1105.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with benign and refractory esophageal strictures (BES), repeating initial dilations in short intervals could be recommended, but little data are available to validate this strategy. Our aim was to evaluate long-term results of a scheduled program of repeated and sustained esophageal dilations in patients with refractory strictures. METHODS Patients with BES requiring five or more dilations were retrospectively included and divided in two groups for analysis: a SCHEDULED group (SDG) where patients were systematically rescheduled for the 5 first dilations; ON-DEMAND group (ODG) where patients were dilated only in case of recurrence of the dysphagia. Comparison between SDG and ODG was done with a 1:1 matching analysis and etiology of stricture. Clinical success was defined as the absence of dysphagia for more than a year. RESULTS 39 patients with refractory BES were included with post-operative stenosis in 51.2% and post-caustic injury 28.2%; 10 were in SDG and 29 in ODG. In overall analysis (39 patients), the follow-up was 64.4 ± 32 months, success rate was 79.5% and duration of treatment was 27.3 ± 20 months, and mean number of dilations was 11.7 per patient. The need for dilations decreased significantly after 18 months of treatment with an average of 0.56 dilations per semester. Self-expandable metallic stent insertion was associated with an increased rate of complications (5.9% vs 59.1% p = 0.001). In matched analysis (10 ODG vs 10 SDG patients), the duration of treatment was lower in SDG (18.8 vs 41.4 months, p = 0,032) with a higher probability of remission (survival analysis, Log-rank: p = 0,019) and the success rate did not differ between ODG and SDG patients (80% vs 90%; NS). CONCLUSION Overall, long-term esophageal dilations resulted in a 79.5% success rate and the need for further dilatations decreased significantly in both groups after 18-month follow-up. A scheduled dilation program was associated with a higher probability of final success and lower treatment duration.

Abstract
In esophageal pathologies, such as esophageal atresia, cancers, caustic burns, or post-operative stenosis, esophageal replacement is performed by using parts of the gastrointestinal tract to restore nutritional autonomy. However, this surgical procedure most often does not lead to complete functional recovery and is instead associated with many complications resulting in a decrease in the quality of life and survival rate. Esophageal tissue engineering (ETE) aims at repairing the defective esophagus and is considered as a promising therapeutic alternative. Noteworthy progress has recently been made in the ETE research area but strong challenges remain to replicate the structural and functional integrity of the esophagus with the approaches currently being developed. Within this context, 3D bioprinting is emerging as a new technology to facilitate the patterning of both cellular and acellular bioinks into well-organized 3D functional structures. Here, we present a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in tissue engineering for esophageal reconstruction with a specific focus on 3D bioprinting approaches in ETE. Current biofabrication techniques and bioink features are highlighted, and these are discussed in view of the complexity of the native esophagus that the designed substitute needs to replace. Finally, perspectives on recent strategies for fabricating other tubular organ substitutes via 3D bioprinting are discussed briefly for their potential in ETE applications.

Abstract
Corrosive injury is a devastating injury which carries significant morbidity. The upper gastrointestinal tract is predominantly affected with severity ranging from mild inflammation to full thickness necrosis which may result in perforation and death. Among the complications, stricture formation is most common, causing dysphagia and malnutrition. Endoscopy has a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management, with a few shortcomings. Imaging has an important role to play. Besides radiography, there is an increasing role of CT scan in the emergency setting with good accuracy in identifying patients who are likely to benefit from surgery. Further, CT scan has a role in the diagnosis of complications. Oral contrast studies help in assessing the severity and extent of stricture formation and associated fistulous complications in the subacute and chronic phase. The scope of intervention radiology for this condition is increasing. Fluoroscopy-guided balloon dilatation, drainage of collections or mucoceles, endovascular embolization of point bleeders, placement of feeding jejunostomy and image-guided biopsy are among the procedures that are being performed. Through this review we aim to stress the role the radiologist plays in the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients and in performing radiological interventions. Besides this, we have also highlighted few salient points to help understand the pathophysiology and management of such injuries which is paramount to ensure a good long-term outcome.

Abstract
Background. In 1911, Vuillet and Kelling independently described the anatomical and surgical bases of esophageal replacement with the colon. An important complication, in particular in later follow-up, is redundancy of the interposed colon, seen more after retrosternal interposition. The best treatment is prevention by a meticulous surgical technique and measurement of the length of the colon needed to replace the esophagus. Methods. This was a retrospective study of innovative surgical technique. A total of 25 patients with corrosive stricture of the esophagus undergoing two-point fixation in retrosternal colon interposition were included in the study. Preventive Operative Technique. After straightening of conduit by pulling very delicately over both sides, first fixation point we considered cervical anastomoses and second fixation point was made in subxiphoid space, taking two seromuscular stiches from the antimesenteric border of the colon to falciform ligament situated on the right side of the conduit. Results. There were 07 male and 18 female patients with M:F was 1:2.5; mean age was 29 years (range: 23-45 years) and mean hospital stay was 14 days (range: 10-23 days). In this study, we did not encounter any subjective or objective evidence of redundancy in any patients in follow-up barium swallow after 2.5 years of follow-up. Conclusion. Our Two-point fixation technique is refinement of already performed and tried fixation techniques to prevent redundancy of the colon conduit considering kinetics, anatomical alignment, and pathology.

Abstract
In recent years, scaffold-free bio-3D printing using cell aggregates (spheroids) as "bio-inks" has attracted increasing attention as a method for 3D cell construction. Bio-3D printing uses a technique called the Kenzan method, wherein spheroids are placed one-by-one in a microneedle array (the "Kenzan") using a bio-3D printer. The bio-3D printer is a machine that was developed to perform bio-3D printing automatically. Recently, it has been reported that cell constructs can be produced by a bio-3D printer using spheroids composed of many types of cells and that this can contribute to tissue (re-)construction. This progress report summarizes the production and effectiveness of various cell constructs prepared using bio-3D printers. It also considers the future issues and prospects of various cell constructs obtained by using this method for further development of scaffold-free 3D cell constructions.

Abstract
There is a wide range of oesophageal diseases, the most general of which are inflammation, injury and tumours, and treatment methods are constantly being developed and updated. With an increasingly comprehensive understanding of stem cells and their characteristics of multilineage differentiation, self-renewal and homing as well as the combination of stem cells with regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and gene therapy, stem cells are playing an important role in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells have many advantages and are most commonly applied; however, most of these applications have been in experimental studies, with few related clinical trials for comparison. Therefore, the methods, positive significance and limitations of stem cells in the treatment of oesophageal diseases remain incompletely understood. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to review the current literature and summarize the efficacy of stem cells in the treatment of oesophageal diseases, including oesophageal ulceration, acute radiation-induced oesophageal injury, corrosive oesophageal injury, oesophageal stricture formation after endoscopic submucosal dissection and oesophageal reconstruction, as well as gene therapy for oesophageal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the esophagus has no redundancy, congenital and acquired esophageal diseases often require esophageal substitution, with complicated surgery and intestinal or gastric transposition. Peri-and-post-operative complications are frequent, with major problems related to the food transit and reflux. During the last years tissue engineering products became an interesting therapeutic alternative for esophageal replacement, since they could mimic the organ structure and potentially help to restore the native functions and physiology. The use of acellular matrices pre-seeded with cells showed promising results for esophageal replacement approaches, but cell homing and adhesion to the scaffold remain an important issue and were investigated. METHODS A porcine esophageal substitute constituted of a decellularized scaffold seeded with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) was developed. In order to improve cell seeding and distribution throughout the scaffolds, they were micro-perforated by Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) technology (Telea Electronic Engineering). RESULTS The treatment created a microporous network and cells were able to colonize both outer and inner layers of the scaffolds. Non seeded (NSS) and BM-MSCs seeded scaffolds (SS) were implanted on the thoracic esophagus of 4 and 8 pigs respectively, substituting only the muscle layer in a mucosal sparing technique. After 3 months from surgery, we observed an esophageal substenosis in 2/4 NSS pigs and in 6/8 SS pigs and a non-practicable stricture in 1/4 NSS pigs and 2/8 SS pigs. All the animals exhibited a normal weight increase, except one case in the SS group. Actin and desmin staining of the post-implant scaffolds evidenced the regeneration of a muscular layer from one anastomosis to another in the SS group but not in the NSS one. CONCLUSIONS A muscle esophageal substitute starting from a porcine scaffold was developed and it was fully repopulated by BM-MSCs after seeding. The substitute was able to recapitulate in shape and function the original esophageal muscle layer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate long-term QOL after caustic ingestion. BACKGROUND Caustic ingestion strongly affects patient's QOL but data on the topic is scarce in the literature. METHODS QOL evaluation was conducted in survivors from a large cohort of patients with caustic injuries. QOL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-OG25 module, the SF12v2 score, and the hospital anxiety and depression scale questionnaire. One hundred thirty-four patients (59 men, median age 43) completed the survey; 72 (54%) patients underwent emergency digestive resection and in 99 (74%) patients underwent esophageal reconstruction. Results of QOL questionnaires were compared to average values determined in healthy volunteers and in patients with esophageal cancers. RESULTS The median QLQ-OG25 score was 44 (34, 62) and values were significantly lower when compared to a normal population (P < 0.0001). SF12v2 scores were significantly inferior to those expected in a normal population on both the physical component summary (PCS) (43.3 ± 10.8; P < 0.0001) and the mental component summary (44 ± 9.7; P < 0.0001) scales. Emergency esophageal resection was significantly associated with higher QLQ-OG25 scores (P < 0.0001), but not with mental component summary (P = 0.3), PCS (P = 0.76), HAD anxiety (P = 0.95), and HAD depression scores (P = 0.59); results were similar after extended emergency resection. When compared to esophagocoloplasty alone, pharyngeal reconstruction had a significant negative impact on QLQ-OG25 (P < 0.0001), PCS (P = 0.01), and HAD depression (P = 0.0008) scores. CONCLUSIONS QOL is significantly impaired after caustic ingestion. QOL issues should not influence the emergency surgical strategy but deserve discussion before esophageal reconstruction for caustic injuries.

Abstract
In pathologies of the esophagus such as esophageal atresia, cancers, and caustic injuries, methods for full thickness esophageal replacement require the sacrifice of healthy intra-abdominal organs such as the stomach and the colon and are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and poor functional results. To overcome these problems, tissue engineering methods are developed to create a substitute with scaffolds and cells. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and safe decellularization process in order to obtain a clinical grade esophageal extracellular matrix. Following the decontamination step, porcine esophagi were decellularized in a bioreactor with sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for 3 days and were rinsed with deionized water. DNA was eliminated by a 3-hr DNase treatment. To remove any residual detergent, the matrix was then incubated with an absorbing resin. The resulting porcine esophageal matrix was characterized by the assessment of the efficiency of the decellularization process (DNA quantification), evaluation of sterility and absence of cytotoxicity, and its composition and biomechanical properties, as well as the possibility to be reseeded with mesenchymal stem cells. Complete decellularization with the preservation of the general structure, composition, and biomechanical properties of the native esophageal matrix was obtained. Sterility was maintained throughout the process, and the matrix showed no cytotoxicity. The resulting matrix met clinical grade criteria and was successfully reseeded with mesenchymal stem cells..

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2019; 55:1113-1120. [PMID: 30544187 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezy398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Revised: 10/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES After oesophagectomy, stomach grafts are most frequently used to restore intestinal continuity. Less frequently, a colonic graft is used. There is quite a large body of literature addressing the functional outcome after gastric pull-up, but little is known about the functional results of colonic interposition (CI). The aim of this study was to assess the short-term outcomes and the long-term quality of life and function of the CI postoesophagectomy. METHODS Between 2002 and 2016, we retrospectively collected data on 80 patients with CI from personal health records at the Ghent University hospital. We prospectively compared the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-OG25 and Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire scores to the healthy reference group and the gastric tube (GT) group. RESULTS The 30-day mortality rate was 5%. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 37.5% and stenosis in 20% of the patients. The median overall survival of all patients was 33.9 months (95% confidence interval 8.3-59.4). The mean general health score of the CI patients was less than the healthy reference group but comparable to the GT group (CI = 62.1 vs healthy reference group = 71.2 vs GT = 60). Fifty percent of the patients reported their health as good and 15% as very good. The mean functional results with a CI were better than with a GT. Compared to GT patients, CI patients had less dyspnoea, reflux and dysphagia, but they reported more food selection, diarrhoea and weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Despite the high complication rate, the severity of the disease and the demanding operation, patients perceived themselves as being in good health and reported very good long-term functionality after CI. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER B670201630635.

Abstract
The esophagus traverses three body compartments (neck, thorax, and abdomen) and is surrounded at each level by vital organs. Injuries to the esophagus may be classified as foreign body ingestion, caustic ingestion, esophageal perforation, and esophageal trauma. These lesions can be life-threatening either by digestive contamination of surrounding structures in case of esophageal wall breach or concomitant damage of surrounding organs. Early diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention are the keys of successful management.

Regeneration of esophagus using a scaffold-free biomimetic structure created with bio-three-dimensional printing. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0211339.

Abstract
Various strategies have been attempted to replace esophageal defects with natural or artificial substitutes using tissue engineering. However, these methods have not yet reached clinical application because of the high risks related to their immunogenicity or insufficient biocompatibility. In this study, we developed a scaffold-free structure with a mixture of cell types using bio-three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and assessed its characteristics in vitro and in vivo after transplantation into rats. Normal human dermal fibroblasts, human esophageal smooth muscle cells, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased and used as a cell source. After the preparation of multicellular spheroids, esophageal-like tube structures were prepared by bio-3D printing. The structures were matured in a bioreactor and transplanted into 10-12-week-old F344 male rats as esophageal grafts under general anesthesia. Mechanical and histochemical assessment of the structures were performed. Among 4 types of structures evaluated, those with the larger proportion of mesenchymal stem cells tended to show greater strength and expansion on mechanical testing and highly expressed α-smooth muscle actin and vascular endothelial growth factor on immunohistochemistry. Therefore, the structure with the larger proportion of mesenchymal stem cells was selected for transplantation. The scaffold-free structures had sufficient strength for transplantation between the esophagus and stomach using silicon stents. The structures were maintained in vivo for 30 days after transplantation. Smooth muscle cells were maintained, and flat epithelium extended and covered the inner surface of the lumen. Food had also passed through the structure. These results suggested that the esophagus-like scaffold-free tubular structures created using bio-3D printing could hold promise as a substitute for the repair of esophageal defects.

Abstract
Tissue engineering appears promising as an alternative technique for esophageal replacement. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be of interest for esophageal regeneration. Evaluation of the ability of an acellular matrix seeded with autologous MSCs to promote tissue remodeling toward an esophageal phenotype after circumferential replacement of the esophagus in a mini pig model. A 3 cm long circumferential replacement of the abdominal esophagus was performed with an MSC-seeded matrix (MSC group, n = 10) versus a matrix alone (control group, n = 10), which has previously been matured into the great omentum. The graft area was covered with an esophageal removable stent. A comparative histological analysis of the graft area after animals were euthanized sequentially is the primary outcome of the study. Histological findings after maturation, overall animal survival, and postoperative morbidity were also compared between groups. At postoperative day 45 (POD 45), a mature squamous epithelium covering the entire surface of the graft area was observed in all the MSC group specimens but in none of the control group before POD 95. Starting at POD 45, desmin positive cells were seen in the graft area in the MSC group but never in the control group. There were no differences between groups in the incidence of surgical complications and postoperative death. In this model, MSCs accelerate the mature re-epitheliazation and early initiation of muscle cell colonization. Further studies will focus on the use of cell tracking tools in order to analyze the becoming of these cells and the mechanisms involved in this tissue regeneration.

Abstract
For various esophageal diseases, the search for alternative techniques for tissue repair has led to significant developments in basic and translational research in the field of tissue engineering. Applied to the esophagus, this concept is based on the in vitro combination of elements judged necessary for in vivo implantation to promote esophageal tissue remodeling. Different methods are currently being explored to develop substitutes using cells, scaffolds, or a combination of both, according to the severity of lesions to be treated. In this review, we discuss recent advances in (1) cell sheet technology for preventing stricture after extended esophageal mucosectomy and (2) full-thickness circumferential esophageal replacement using tissue-engineered substitutes.

Abstract
It is generally recognized that in patients with an intact stomach diagnosed with esophageal cancer, gastric tubulization and pull-up shall always be the preferred technique for reconstruction after an esophageal resection. However, in cases with extensive gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer with aboral spread and after previous gastric surgery, alternative methods for reconstruction have to be pursued. Moreover, in benign cases as well as in those with early neoplastic lesions of the esophagus and the GEJ that are associated with long survival, it is basically unclear which conduit should be recommended. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term functional outcomes of different conduits used for esophageal replacement, based on a comprehensive literature review. Eligible were all clinical studies reporting outcomes after esophagectomy, which contained information on at least three years of follow-up after the operation in patients who were older than 18 years of age at the time of the operation. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A systematic web-based search using MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases was performed, reviewing medical literature published between January 2006 and December 2015. The scientific quality of the data was generally low, which allowed us to incorporate only 16 full text articles for the final analyses. After a gastric pull-up, the proportion of patients who suffered from dysphagia varied substantially but seemed to decrease over time with a mild dysphagia remaining during long-term follow-up. When reflux-related symptoms and complications were addressed, roughly two third of patients experienced mild to moderate reflux symptoms a long time after the resection. Following an isoperistaltic colonic graft, the functional long-term outcomes regarding swallowing difficulties were sparsely reported, while three studies reported reflux/regurgitation symptoms in the range of 5% to 16%, one of which reported the symptom severity as being mild. Only one report was available after the use of a long jejunal segment, which contained only six patients, who scored the severity of dysphagia and reflux as mild. Very few if any data were available on a structured assessment of dumping and disturbed bowel functions. Few high-quality data are available on the long-term functional outcomes after esophageal replacement irrespective of the use of a gastric tube, the right or left colon or a long jejunal segment. No firm conclusions regarding the advantages of one graft over the other can presently be drawn.

Abstract
Esophageal stricture is a major secondary complication of ingesting caustic agents. We examined our experiences with caustic injuries with a view to finding clinical and biological risk factors of esophageal strictures secondary to caustic ingestion. Records were retrieved for 58 adults admitted consecutively to our intensive care unit for caustic ingestion. Fifty cases were managed conservatively and therefore retained for analyses. Patients were grouped according to whether they developed strictures or not during the follow-up period. Mucosal damage was assessed by emergency endoscopy. Eleven patients (22%) developed a stricture. At referral, dysphagia, epigastric pain, and hematemesis were associated with secondary stricture (respectively P = 0.047, P = 0.008, P = 0.02). A high Zargar endoscopic grade (above IIa; P = 0.02), the ingestion of strong acids or alkalis (P = 0.006), hyperleukocytosis (P = 0.02), and a low prothrombin ratio (P = 0.002) were associated with a higher risk of developing a stricture. The median delay of stricture diagnosis was 12 (8;16) days after ingestion, with extreme values from 4 to 26 days. Initial symptoms such as dysphagia or hematemesis, early endoscopy showing >IIa grade esophagitis, and certain laboratory results should draw the physician's attention to a high risk of esophageal stricture.

Abstract
Corrosive ingestion is a rare but potentially devastating event and, despite the availability of effective preventive public health strategies, injuries continue to occur. Most clinicians have limited personal experience and rely on guidelines; however, uncertainty persists about best clinical practice. Ingestions range from mild cases with no injury to severe cases with full thickness necrosis of the oesophagus and stomach. CT scan is superior to traditional endoscopy for stratification of patients to emergency resection or observation. Oesophageal stricture is a common consequence of ingestion and newer stents show some promise; however, the place of endoscopic stenting for corrosive strictures is yet to be defined. We summarise the evidence to provide a plan for managing these potentially life-threatening injuries and discuss the areas where further research is required to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Ingestion of caustic substances and its long-term effect on the gastrointestinal system maintain its place as an important public health issue in spite of the multiple efforts to educate the public and contain its growing number. This is due to the ready availability of caustic agents and the loose regulatory control on its production. Substances with extremes of pH are very corrosive and can create severe injury in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The severity of injury depends on several aspects: Concentration of the substance, amount ingested, length of time of tissue contact, and pH of the agent. Solid materials easily adhere to the mouth and pharynx, causing greatest damage to these regions while liquids pass through the mouth and pharynx more quickly consequently producing its maximum damage in the esophagus and stomach. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is therefore a highly recommended diagnostic tool in the evaluation of caustic injury. It is considered the cornerstone not only in the diagnosis but also in the prognostication and guide to management of caustic ingestions. The degree of esophageal injury at endoscopy is a predictor of systemic complication and death with a 9-fold increase in morbidity and mortality for every increased injury grade. Because of this high rate of complication, prompt evaluation cannot be overemphasized in order to halt development and prevent progression of complications.

The Damage Pattern to the Gastrointestinal Tract Depends on the Nature of the Ingested Caustic Agent. World J Surg 2017; 40:1638-44. [PMID: 26920407 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-016-3466-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms of damage to the gastrointestinal tract after caustic ingestion are conditioned by the nature of the ingested agent. Whether the nature of the ingested agent has a direct influence on patient outcomes is unknown. METHODS From January 2013 to April 2015, 144 patients underwent emergency management for caustic injuries at the Saint Louis Hospital in Paris. There were 51 men (51 %) and the median age was 44 years [39, 48]. The ingested agents were soda-based strong alkali in 85 patients (59 %), strong acids in 36 patients (25 %), and bleach in 23 patients (16 %). Emergency and long-term outcomes were compared according to the nature of the ingested agent. RESULTS Four patients died (3 %) and 40 patients (28 %) experienced complications. After bleach ingestion, emergency morbidity and mortality were nil, no patient required esophageal reconstruction, and functional outcome was successful in all patients. Acids were more likely to induce transmural gastric (31 vs. 13 %, p =0.042) and duodenal (9 vs. 0 %, p = 0.04) necrosis than strong alkalis, but rates of transmural esophageal necrosis were similar (14 vs. 12 %, p = 0.98). No significant differences were recorded between emergency mortality (9 vs. 1 %, p = 0.15), morbidity (33 vs. 33 %, p = 0.92), the need for esophageal reconstruction (25 vs. 20 %, p = 0.88), and functional success rates (76 vs. 84 %, p = 0.31) after acid and alkali ingestion, respectively. CONCLUSION Bleach causes mild gastrointestinal injuries, while the ingestion of strong acids and alkalis may result in severe complications and death. Acids cause more severe damage to the stomach but similar damage to the esophagus when compared to alkalis.

Substernal Colonic Interposition After Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in a Patient With a Patent Left Internal Thoracic Artery Graft: A Surgical Challenge. Ann Thorac Surg 2016; 102:e403-e405. [PMID: 27772592 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2016.04.063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2016] [Revised: 04/18/2016] [Accepted: 04/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Esophageal reconstruction by a substernal route with a colonic conduit after previous esophagectomy and end-cervical esophagostomy in the presence of a patent left internal thoracic artery graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery is a technically challenging procedure. In this case report, we describe a safe approach to this difficult problem. With proper planning and careful dissection, substernal esophageal reconstruction after previous sternotomy in patients with a patent left internal thoracic artery graft is feasible and can be safely performed.

The cervicosternolaparotomy approach for the treatment of graft dysfunction after retrosternal esophageal reconstruction for caustic injuries. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2016; 152:1378-1385. [PMID: 27650003 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2016.07.069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2016] [Revised: 06/19/2016] [Accepted: 07/24/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study purpose was to report the indications, technical aspects, and outcomes of cervicosternolaparotomy during revision surgery after esophageal reconstruction for caustic injuries. METHODS Patients who underwent cervicosternolaparotomy during revision surgery for graft dysfunction between 1999 and 2015 were included. Cervicosternolaparotomy was performed to mobilize and pull up the primary conduit during surgery for strictures (rescue cervicosternolaparotomy) or to allow retrosternal access for management of other graft-related complications (exposure cervicosternolaparotomy). Statistical tests were performed to identify factors associated with primary conduit preservation during rescue cervicosternolaparotomy. RESULTS Fifty-five patients were included (28 men; median age, 43 years). Median delay between primary reconstruction and cervicosternolaparotomy was 15 months. Exposure cervicosternolaparotomy was performed in 12 patients (22%) for redundancy (n = 8), spontaneous perforation (n = 2), and caustic reingestion (n = 2). Rescue cervicosternolaparotomy was performed in 43 patients (78%) to treat supra-anastomotic (n = 11), anastomotic (n = 23), and diffuse (n = 9) stenosis. During rescue cervicosternolaparotomy, the primary conduit was preserved in 32 patients; median length gain obtained by transplant release was 8 cm. Failure to preserve the primary conduit was associated with previous surgical repair attempts (P = .003) and lack of initial concomitant pharyngeal reconstruction (P = .039). Two patients died (4%), and 35 patients (64%) experienced operative complications. Operative outcomes were similar after rescue and exposure cervicosternolaparotomy. With a median follow-up of 4.4 years, the functional success rate was 85%. CONCLUSIONS Cervicosternolaparotomy during revision surgery for graft dysfunction is reliable, is associated with low morbidity and mortality, and has good results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the management and outcome of tracheobronchial necrosis (TBN) after caustic ingestion. BACKGROUND Emergency pulmonary patch repair has been reported to be lifesaving in patients with caustic TBN. METHODS Patients who underwent management of caustic TBN between 1989 and 2013, were included. TBN was defined as early if present on admission and late if occurring thereafter. Operative outcomes, long-term survival, and functional outcomes were compared with those of 269 patients without TBN who underwent esophagectomy for caustic injuries. RESULTS Twenty patients were included (10 men; median age = 39 years). Early TBN was detected in 14 patients, and late TBN occurred in 7 patients, 8 days (range:: 6-10 days) after admission. TBN involved the left bronchus (n = 17; 85%), the carina (n = 10; 50%), the supracarinal trachea (n = 9; 45%), the right bronchus (n = 4; 20%), and the cervical trachea (n = 3; 15%). Seventeen patients underwent esophagogastrectomy, 2 underwent esophagectomy, and in 1 patient, resection was eventually abandoned. Pulmonary patch repair was performed in 16 patients (80%). Nine patients (45%) died and morbidity was 100%. In univariate analysis, late TBN (P = 0.017) and acid ingestion (P = 0.002) were predictors of mortality. All survivors underwent restoring colopharyngoplasty. Five-year survival (28%) and functional success (25%) rates were significantly impaired when compared with esophagectomy patients without TBN. CONCLUSIONS TBN is one of the most devastating complications of caustic ingestion. Pulmonary patch repair is technically simple and can be lifesaving in this difficult situation.

Abstract
Esophageal reconstruction can be challenging when stomach and colon are not anatomically intact and their use as esophageal substitutes is therefore limited. Innovative individual approaches are then necessary to restore the intestinal passage. We describe a technique in which a short stump of the right hemicolon and 25 cm of ileum on a long, non-supercharged, fully mobilized ileocolic arterial pedicle were used for esophageal reconstruction to the neck. In this case, a 65 year-old male patient had accidentally indigested hydrochloric acid which caused necrosis of his upper digestive tract. An emergency esophagectomy, gastrectomy, duodenectomy, pancreatectomy and splenectomy had been performed in an outside hospital. A cervical esophagostomy and a biliodigestive anastomosis had been created and a jejunal catheter for enteral feeding had been placed. After the patient had recovered, a reconstruction of his food passage via the left and transverse colon failed for technical reasons due to an intraoperative necrotic demarcation of the colon. Our team then faced the situation that only a short stump of the right hemi-colon was left in situ when the patient was referred to our center. After intensified nutritional therapy, we reconstructed this patient’s food passage with the right hemicolon-approach described herein. After treatment of a postoperative pneumonia, the patient was discharged from hospital on the 26th postoperative day in a good clinical condition on an oral-only diet. In conclusion, individual approaches for long-segment reconstruction of the esophagus can be technically feasible in experienced hands. They do not always require arterial supercharging or free intestinal transplantation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colon interposition is an alternative solution for esophageal reconstruction if the stomach cannot be used. The study reviews current indications and results of coloplasty for cancer. METHODS Patients who underwent colon interposition for gastro-esophageal malignancy were included. Primary coloplasty was defined as upfront colon interposition. Salvage coloplasty was defined as colon interposition after primary reconstruction failure. Mortality, morbidity, function, and survival were evaluated. RESULTS We included 28 patients (24 men, median age 61 years). Ten (36%) patients underwent primary coloplasty due to previous gastrectomy (n = 5), conduit gastric cancer (n = 2), extensive gastroesophageal involvement (n = 2), and gastric cancer recurrence (n = 1). Salvage coloplasty was performed in 18 (64%) patients for postoperative graft necrosis (n = 5) and intractable strictures (n = 3). Operative mortality, morbidity, and graft necrosis rates were 14% (4/28), 86% (24/28), and 14% (4/28), respectively; there were no significant differences between primary and salvage coloplasty. Survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5 years were 81%, 51%, and 38%, respectively. Survival was decreased after primary coloplasty when compared to salvage coloplasty (P = 0.03). Nine patients experienced tumor recurrence (primary: n = 6, salvage: n = 3) after coloplasty and eight of them died. CONCLUSION Colon interposition after esophagectomy is a useful but morbid endeavor. Colon interposition as salvage therapy is associated with improved survival compared to its use as primary esophageal replacement, and colon interposition in the latter cohort should be used with caution due to poor cancer-specific survival in this patient population.

Abstract
Tissue engineering, which consists of the combination and in vivo implantation of elements required for tissue remodeling toward a specific organ phenotype, could be an alternative for classical techniques of esophageal replacement. The current hybrid approach entails creation of an esophageal substitute composed of an acellular matrix and autologous epithelial and muscle cells provides the most successful results. Current research is based on the use of mesenchymal stem cells, whose potential for differentiation and proangioogenic, immune-modulator and anti-inflammatory properties are important assets. In the near future, esophageal substitutes could be constructed from acellular "intelligent matrices" that contain the molecules necessary for tissue regeneration; this should allow circumvention of the implantation step and still obtain standardized in vivo biological responses. At present, tissue engineering applications to esophageal replacement are limited to enlargement plasties with absorbable, non-cellular matrices. Nevertheless, the application of existing clinical techniques for replacement of other organs by tissue engineering in combination with a multiplication of translational research protocols for esophageal replacement in large animals should soon pave the way for health agencies to authorize clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lesions of the upper digestive tract due to ingestion of caustic agents still represent a major medical and surgical emergency worldwide. The work-up of these patients is poorly defined and no clear therapeutic guidelines are available. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to provide an evidence-based international consensus on primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of this life-threatening and potentially disabling condition. METHODS An extensive literature search was performed by an international panel of experts under the auspices of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The level of evidence of the screened publications was graded using the Oxford 2011 criteria. The level of evidence of the literature and the main topics regarding foregut caustic injuries were discussed during a dedicated meeting in Milan, Italy (April 2015), and during the 3rd Annual Congress of the World Society of Emergency Surgery in Jerusalem, Israel (July 2015). RESULTS One-hundred-forty-seven full papers which addressed the relevant clinical questions of the research were admitted to the consensus conference. There was an unanimous consensus on the fact that the current literature on foregut caustic injuries lacks homogeneous classification systems and prospective methodology. Moreover, the non-standardized definition of technical and clinical success precludes any accurate comparison of therapeutic modalities. Key recommendations and algorithms based on expert opinions, retrospective studies and literature reviews were proposed and approved during the final consensus conference. The clinical practice guidelines resulting from the consensus conference were approved by the WSES council. CONCLUSIONS The recommendations emerging from this consensus conference, although based on a low level of evidence, have important clinical implications. A world registry of foregut caustic injuries could be useful to collect a homogeneous data-base for prospective clinical studies that may help improving the current clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the results of esophagocoloplasty (ECP) in children by performing a 45-year retrospective cohort study in a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected all of the medical charts of patients who underwent ECP at our hospital from January 1969 to January 2014. We reviewed the medical history for each patient and then contacted the patients by phone to obtain responses to a questionnaire. The questionnaire evaluated the following four areas: overall general state, gastrointestinal function, dependence on the Health Sanitary System, and their aesthetic satisfaction. RESULTS We contacted 96 patients, and 72 completed our questionnaire. There were 45 males and 27 female respondents, with a mean age of 34.5 years. The mean Karnofsky performance status index was 96.4%. There were excellent scores obtained from 55 patients and fairly good scores from 16 patients. There was 1 patient with a low score, and there were no scores reported below 70%. Most patients (58/72) reported regular bowel habits, and no patients required drugs or other measures to facilitate defecation. Gastroesophageal reflux was present in 51 patients, and 62.8% have bothersome symptoms. Twenty-five patients used pharmacological therapies. Forty-eight patients (66.6%) were satisfied with the aesthetic result of surgery (mean score in a scale from 0 to 5, is 3). CONCLUSIONS ECP can be used in children who require esophageal substitution. The resulting long-term QoL is acceptable. However, the aesthetic outcomes remain a problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corrosive esophageal stricture is a major cause of morbidity among Nigerians. In most cases, this follows accidental or parasuicidal ingestion of caustic sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) often used in the local production of soaps. Various treatment modalities have been advocated for the treatment of esophageal stricture. In this study, we review the results of our adopted technique in the past 10 years for pedicled colonic interposition. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 21 patients who underwent substernal isoperistaltic pedicled colonic interposition graft for management of corrosive esophageal stricture. The right colon was pulled up into the neck in all the patients without resecting the strictured esophagus. RESULTS Long segment strictures and multiple strictures were the main indications for the procedure. The mean duration of the procedure was 339.6 ± 71.1 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was 673.1 ± 398.1 mL. There were two (9.5 %) hospital mortalities. Graft infarction (9.5 %), cervical fistulae (19.0 %), and reflux neo-esophagitis (14.3 %) were the main non-fatal complications. In the mid-term, dysphagia was completely relieved in a little over 84 % (16/19) of patients, while one patient (4.8 %) still experienced reflux neo-esophagitis requiring treatment. There was no case of gross regurgitation or nocturnal aspiration in the mid-term. CONCLUSIONS Although the use of pedicled colonic interposition graft offers a good mid-term functional outcome with relief of dysphagia, early postoperative morbidity is high. Graft infarction is the single most important factor for poor functional outcome and every effort must be made to prevent its occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal replacement by the colon or the stomach for malignant and nonmalignant esophageal diseases exposes to significant morbidity and mortality. In this setting, tissue engineering seems to be a seductive alternative. METHODS In a porcine model, we performed a 5-cm-long circumferential replacement of the cervical esophagus by a tubulized acellular matrix (small intestinal submucosa) cellularized with autologous skeletal myoblasts and covered by a human amniotic membrane seeded with autologous oral epithelial cells. The substitute was grown for 2 weeks in the great omentum before esophageal replacement. Eighteen minipigs (divided into 3 groups: group A [substitute with esophageal endoprothesis; n = 6], group B [substitute alone; n = 6], and group C [endoprothesis alone; n = 6]) were included. The esophageal endoprothesis was removed at 6 months. Animals were killed sequentially over a 12 month-period. Clinical, endoscopic, radiologic and histologic outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS All animals except 1 of in groups B and C died during the first 2 months owing to refractory esophageal stenosis or endoprothesis extrusion. Nutritional autonomy without endoprothesis was observed in all animals of group A with a follow-up of >6 months (n = 3). A phenotype similar to that of native esophagus, consisting of a mature epithelium, submucosal glands, and a circular muscular layer, was observed after 9 months. CONCLUSION In this model, the circumferential replacement of the cervical esophagus by a tube-shaped tissue-engineered substitute under the temporary cover of an esophageal endoprothesis allowed nutritional autonomy and tissue remodeling toward an esophageal phenotype.
