Objective To summarize the experience of colon interposition for esophageal replacement. Method The clinical data of 108 consecutive patients underwent colon interposition for esophageal replacement in our hospital between January 2005 and March 2013 were reviewed for benign and malignant lesions. Their ages ranged from 2 to 71 years (mean age at 34.3 years). There were 81 males and 27 females. Result There was no surgical death. Esophago-colic anastomotic insufficiency occurred in 7 patients. One case of graft necrosis was observed. Injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve occurred in 8 patients, incomplete intestinal obstruction in 2 patients, and wound infection of the abdominal wall in 1 patient, and deep venous thrombosis in 1 patient. In-hospital mortality was 15.7% (17/108). The postoperative follow-up was made for 12 months in 97 patients (91.5%) and all of them were alive. The patients' body weight and appetite improved. Conclusion Colon interposition is a valuable alternative with a good long-term function.
