Outcomes of Oesophageal Reconstruction
摘要
This chapter considers studies evaluating functional outcomesFunctional outcomes following oesophagusOesophagus replacement with various conduits. Gastric conduitsGastric conduits have been shown to be associated with dysphagiaDysphagia and reflux, which generally improves with time. Long-term outcomes with colonic interpositionColonic interposition are generally favourable, but early satiety is common, and a reoperation rate of about 10% for colonic redundancy. One systematic review has shown better outcomes using the left colon through the retrosternal routeRetrosternal route. However, individualised conduit selectionConduit selection and route are crucial for optimal outcomes. Limited data exist on jejunal loop reconstructionJejunal loop reconstruction, with mixed results. Overall, while various conduits offer potential solutions, careful consideration of patient factors is paramount for optimal outcomes.
