  • Title: Reconstruction of esophageal defects with microsurgically revascularized jejunal segments: a report of 13 cases.
    Author: Chang TS, Hwang OL, Wang-Wei.
    Journal: J Microsurg; 1980 Dec; 2(2):83-94. PubMed ID: 6783730.
    Abstract:
    Experimental free transfer of a jejunal segment to a recipient bed in the neck was successfully performed in 5 mongrel dogs. This was followed by clinical application of 2 different microvascular procedures in 13 patients for repair of esophageal defects. In 7 of these patients a free jejunal transfer was used; in 6 of these patients a pedicled jejunal graft with revascularization of its distal end by microvascular anastomosis was used. The esophageal defects were located in the cervical portion in 7 cases, the cervicothoracic portion in 5 cases, and the thoracic portion in 1 case. Ten (77%) of the 13 procedures were successful.
