Alexander Miller, Rohitha Moudgal, Obaida Dairi, Jeffrey M. Adler, Richard I. Rothstein
TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of gastric tube volvulus years after esophagectomy and its successful treatment using endoscopic stenting.
Contribution
The paper presents the fifth reported case of gastric tube volvulus occurring years after esophagectomy and its treatment via endoscopic stenting.
Findings
Gastric tube volvulus can occur years after esophagectomy and may be misdiagnosed as delayed gastric conduit emptying.
Endoscopic stenting is a successful treatment option for gastric tube volvulus in such cases.
Abstract
Esophageal cancer is frequently treated with esophagectomy, which is associated with distinct complications. Delayed gastric conduit emptying is a well-recognized complication that usually occurs within the postoperative period. By contrast, gastric tube volvulus is a rarer complication with a more variable time course of onset after esophagectomy and can be mistaken for delayed gastric conduit emptying. We describe the fifth reported case of gastric tube volvulus occurring years after esophagectomy and its successful treatment via endoscopic stenting.
