There are unfortunately a relatively large number of cases of esophageal
cancer in Iran as well as other countries, and one of the most difficult
problems facing surgeons is the reconstruction of the esophagus and
restoration of its function after excision of the tumor. From 1978 to 1987,20
patients (16 male, 4 female) ranging in age from 22 to 68 years were surgically
treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical esophagus using free
jejunal loop transfer by microsurgical technique. Patients were followed up
for two years postoperatively. The rate of recurrence of primary neoplasm
was 50%. We consider free jejunal loop transfer a suitable alternative in the
management of upper esophageal carcinoma, especially those complicated
by previous reconstructive methods.
