Colon bypass from the oral cavity.
A young man had had caustic burns of the pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and stomach 4 years previously. Total gastrectomy had been performed, and nutrition was maintained through a jejunostomy feeding tube. Alimentary continuity was restored with an isolated colon segment, brought substernally to the oral cavity, with excellent results.
