Result of Esophageal Reconstruction Using Supercharged Interposition Colon in Corrosive and Boehave’s Injury: Thammasat University Hospital Experience
Awsakulsutthi S Mail

Seven esophageal reconstructions with interposition colon in severe suicide corrosive ingestion and Boehave’s
injury at Thammasat University Hospital were presented. Vascular enhancement (as called “supercharge”) were done. Only
one patient had micro-leakage at pharyngeal anastomosis with healed by conservative treatment and no late anastomotic
stricture. The operation need more time and general surgeon skill but better comparison outcome.

Conclusion: Using supercharged interposition colon in adult esophageal reconstruction in corrosive and Boehave’s
injury was benefit in lower the incidence of anastomotic leakage and late anastomotic stricture. Just a longer operative time
and vascular anatomizes skill were need.
