Surg Case Rep 2019; 5:113.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric conduit ulcer after esophagectomy is not uncommon. In cases where a gastric conduit ulcer penetrates the adjacent organs, it is difficult to select a suitable treatment strategy. The treatment depends on the adjacent organs penetrated. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case in which a reconstructed gastric conduit ulcer penetrated the precordial skin in a patient who had undergone esophagectomy due to spontaneous esophageal rupture 28 years previously. To treat the cutaneo-gastric conduit fistula, we resected the fistula, covered the site of anastomosis with a major pectoralis muscle flap, and applied a split-thickness skin graft to the skin defect. CONCLUSIONS In cases of gastric conduit trouble in patients treated via the antesternal route, a major pectoralis muscle flap is useful because of its rich blood supply and easy mobilization. In addition, a split-thickness skin graft should be applied to the skin defect.

Abstract
Despite improvements in operative strategies for esophageal resection, anastomotic leaks, fistula, postoperative pulmonary complications, and chylothorax can occur. Our review seeks to identify potential risk factors, modalities for early diagnosis, and novel interventions that may ameliorate the potential adverse effects of these surgical complications following esophagectomy.

Successful repair using thymus pedicle flap for tracheoesophageal fistula: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2018; 4:49. [PMID: 29796790 PMCID: PMC5966367 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-018-0458-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2018] [Accepted: 05/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Treatment for tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), a life-threatening complication after esophagectomy, is challenging. Case presentation A 75-year-old man with thoracic esophageal cancer underwent subtotal esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction through the post-mediastinal root after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Owing to postoperative anastomotic leakage, an abscess formed at the anastomotic region. Sustained inflammation from the abscess caused refractory TEF between the esophagogastric anastomotic site and membrane of the trachea, and several conservative therapies for TEF failed. Hence, the patient underwent surgery including division of the fistula, direct suturing of the leakage sites, and reinforcement with the flap of the thymus pedicle. As a result, the abscess and TEF disappeared after surgery and the patient was immediately administered an oral diet and discharged home 103 days after initial surgery. Conclusions Although pedicle flaps for the reinforcement of TEF are usually obtained from muscle or pericardium, these flaps need enough lengths to overcome moving distance. We are the first in the existing literature to have successfully treated TEF with surgical repair using a thymus flap located close to TEF. The thymus pedicle might be another candidate for the reinforcement flap in TEF.

[PMID: 31695563 PMCID: PMC6823781 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgr.2018.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2017] [Revised: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 04/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Gastric ulcer (GU) is a common gastrointestinal disease that can be induced by many factors. Finding an effective treatment method that contains fewer side effects is important. 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 is a kind of protopanaxadiol and has shown superior antiinflammatory and antioxidant effects in many studies, especially cancer studies. In this study, we examined the treatment efficacy of 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 on GU. Methods Three kinds of GU models, including an alcohol GU model, a pylorus-ligated GU model, and an acetic acid GU model, were used. Mouse endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in blood and epidermal growth factor (EGF), superoxide dismutase, and NO levels in gastric mucosa were evaluated. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of gastric mucosa and immunohistochemical staining of ET-1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2), and epidermal growth factor receptors were studied. Ulcer index (UI) scores and UI ratios were also analyzed to demonstrate the GU conditions in different groups. Furthermore, Glide XP from Schrödinger was used for molecular docking to clarify the interactions between 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 and EGF and NOS2. Results 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 significantly decreased the UI scores and UI ratios in all the three GU models, and it demonstrated antiulcer effects by decreasing the ET-1 and NOS2 levels and increasing the NO, superoxide dismutase, EGF, and epidermal growth factor receptor levels. In addition, high-dose 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 showed satisfactory gastric mucosa protection effects. Conclusion 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg3 can inhibit the formation of GU and may be a potential therapeutic agent for GU.
