title: Free intrathoracic jejunal transfer for thoracic oesophageal reconstruction: a case report.
abstract: We report the case of a 67-year-old man who had resection of a thoracic oesophageal cancer and intrathoracic reconstruction of the oesophagus with a free jejunal transfer. The jejunal vessels were anastomosed to an internal thoracic artery and vein. The technical and functional results were good.
