Background : The aims of this study are to review the feasibility and surgical outcomes of colon interposition in patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent colon interposition for esophageal reconstruction between June 2000 and June 2013.
Results : Total 67 consecutive patients were included and mean age was 62.2 ±7.9 years. The reasons for choosing colon conduits included previous gastrectomy for peptic ulcer in 9(13.4%), metachronous gastric cancer in 19(28.4%), synchronous gastric cancer in 26(38.8%), and gastroesophageal junction cancer in 13(19.4%). Twelve patients(17.9%) underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(CRT). The median operative time was 425.0 minutes(range; 230-640. Median follow-up duration was 44 months(range; 1~168). Median survival time was 63 months(range; 1-168, 95% CI 36.8-89.2). 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 61.6% and 49.4%. Total 43 patients(64.2%) experienced at least one postoperative morbidity. Assessed by Clavien-Dindo grading system, 36 patients(54%) suffered from postoperative morbidity more than Grade III. Pulmonary complication was most common(18 patients, 26.9%) and 10 patients(14.9%) treated for aspiration pneumonia(more than Grade II). Anastomosis site leakage occurred in 11(16.4%), and three of them(6.0%) went to graft failure. 9 patients(13.4%) underwent endoscopic ballooning for anastomosis site stricture. In multivariate analysis, neoadjuvant CRT(p=0.013, HR=6.37, 95% CI 1.47-27.58) was significant risk factor for conduit-related complication (leakage, graft failure and stricture more than Grade III).
Conclusion : Colon interposition is associated with relatively high complication rate. Neoadjuvant CRT was related with conduit morbidity.
