ABSTRACT
La esofaguectomía y la transposición colónica por toracoscopía video-asistida (VATS), aún no se recomienda como técnica de elección para el tratamiento de patologías benignas y malignas del esófago; a pesar de los buenos resultados en estancia hospitalaria y morbimortalidad. El presente caso describe a un paciente varón de 24 años quien ingirió ácido muriático ocasionando lesiones graves en esófago y estómago. Inicialmente, se lerealiza transposición yeyunal la cual posteriormente se estenosa ocasionando disfagia progresiva, reingresando 2 años después. En esta ocasión se realiza cirugía en 2 etapas: (1) ascenso de colon ascendente y yeyuno distal con vascularización propia hasta hiatoesofágico, mediante cirugía abierta, (2) esofaguectomía y transposición colónica ortotópica por VATS, y posterior anastomosis de colon a hipofaringe en región cervical anterior. Paciente es dado de alta sin complicaciones y con estancia hospitalaria corta. Actualmentesin evidencia de disfagia, mejor estado nutricional y finalmente mejor calidad de vida.
The esophagectomy and colonic transposition by video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS), still not recommended as a technique of choice for the treatment of benign and malignant esophagus despite good results in hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. This case describes a 24 year old male patient who swallowed muriatic acid, causing severe injuries tothe esophagus and stomach. Initially, he performed jejunal transposition which subsequently are causing progressive dysphagia, readmitted 2 years later. This time surgery is performedin 2 stages: (1) rise of the ascending colon and jejunum distal to oesophageal vasculature itself, by open surgery (2) esophagectomy and colonic orthotopic transposition by VATS and posterior hypopharyngeal anastomosis in colon anterior cervical region. Patient wasdischarged without complications and shorter hospital stay. Currently no evidence of dysphagia, improved nutritional status and ultimately better quality of life.
