title: Combined esophagectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy: expanded indication for supercharged jejunal interposition.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy poses a challenge for reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy for synchronous pancreatic and esophageal cancer, with reconstruction using a supercharged jejunal interposition.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The supercharged jejunal anastomosis is a versatile option for foregut reconstruction.
