Colonic interposition after esophagogastrectomy in a child with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare childhood entity that usually presents with peptic ulcer disease and is resistant to medical management. In contrast to the treatment of the disease in adults, total gastrectomy is the procedure of choice for pediatric patients. We report on a child with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome complicated by esophageal stricture in whom we performed a new operative procedure using a colonic interposition. The use of the procedure has obviated the side effects commonly associated with gastrectomy.
