Management of an Unusual Avulsion Trauma of Total Esophagus During Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Annals of Plastic Surgery 2023 April 2
BACKGROUND: An esophageal defect usually resulted from surgical ablation of tumors or corrosive injury. Staged reconstructions are required usually in extensive defects.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to present a rare iatrogenic complication of total esophageal avulsion injury during upper gastrointestinal endoscopic treatment and to perform staged reconstructions to create a neoesophagus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the presented case, staged reconstructions with a tubed deltopectoral flap and a supercharged colon interposition flap were performed to reconstruct the hypopharynx and esophagus. However, recurrent choking occurred because of the extent of injury involving the epiglottis. A tubed free radial forearm flap connected to the lower buccogingival sulcus was used to create a new route for food passage.
RESULTS: The patient resumed oral intake after rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The avulsion injury of the total esophagus is rare and devastating. Staged reconstructions with a tubed deltopectoral flap, a supercharged colon interposition flap, and a tubed free radial forearm flap would be a safe and reliable method.
