[Surgical treatment of redundant colon after retrosternal esophagocolonoplasty for caustic esophageal stenosis].

The Authors report two cases of transposed colon redundancy occurring after surgical treatment in 37 patients with caustic oesophageal strictures by retrosternal oesophagoplasty. Surgical management was required because of persistent dysphagia and weight loss in both patients. The technique performed was a resection of the redundant loop with a termino-terminal colo-colonic anastomosis via a right thoracic approach.
