title: Treatment of esophagojejunostomic leakage by cervical stapling and loop jejunostomy.
abstract: Reestablishment of digestive continuity after radical surgery for severe esophagojejunostomic leakage is a major challenge associated with high morbidity and uncertain feasibility. In this case report we describe a conservative double exclusion technique involving cervical stapling and loop jejunostomy. This technique greatly simplifies subsequent reconstruction and is suitable in most cases.
