title: Failed Gastric Pull up after Esophagectomy Managed by Colonic Interposition.
abstract: A case of esophageal carcinoma underwent transthoracic esophagectomy with gastric pull-up. Postoperatively the patient had gastric conduit necrosis which manifested as biliary leak through the chest tube and was managed with colonic interposition. We present our unique experience of managing failed gastric pull-up with review of concerned literature.
