The clinical experience in the colon replacement of the esophagus in 240 cases is reported. The overall operative morbidity was 17.5%; the incidence of the anastomotic leaks was 10.4%; and the mortality was 2.80%. The points in surgical technique were:1) utilizing the left colic artery as the supporting vessel if possible, based on the anatomy of the colon vessel;2) using the colon segment in an isoperistaltic position,which has been proved much physiological;3) single-layer anastomosis which is simple and reliable, with minimal inflammarion and quick healing; and 4) choosing the channel of the colon transplant according to the disease condition, the age,and the function of the heart and the lung of the patients.
