A new technique of subcutaneous colon interposition. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • A colon interposition graft may be placed in the subcutaneous position when other routes are not available. Creation of an adequate subcutaneous tunnel may be difficult, especially in patients with prior sternotomy. In this report we describe a method that utilizes tissue expanders to facilitate subcutaneous esophageal reconstruction.
