Amarjothi JMV, Jeyasudhahar J, Senthil Kumaran GR, Babu OLN. Dual causes for post coloplasty dysphagia: An interesting case report. J Case Rep Images Surg 2019;5:100060Z12JA2019.ABSTRACT
Interposition coloplasty is a procedure for dysphagia involving intractable corrosive strictures of the oesophagus. We wish to present a case of dysphagia which occurred in a patient after such coloplasty. The cause of the dysphagia was a stricture at the oesophagocolic anastomotic site causing dilation of the native oesophagus forming a oesophagocele just above the proximal limit of the stricture which then caused extraneous compression on the transposed colon. This case report illustrates the practical importance of the oesophagocolic anastomosis to be just above the strictured oesophageal site to prevent formation of oesophagocele of the native oesophagus above the proximal limit of the corrosive stricture.
Keywords: Coloplasty, Oesophagocele, Post coloplasty dysphagia, Stricture
