We present a retrospective review of their progress. Sixty-nine interpositions were for long-gap oesophageal atresia, while the remainder followed oesophagectomies, eight for strictures and two others. Overall, the transthoracic route was used in 69 per cent of cases, while 29 per cent were retrosternally placed and one was retropleural. The mean follow-up was 11.08 years. The mortality rate was 12 per cent, with one-third of deaths unrelated to the operation. Graft failure, which occurred on eight occasions (10 per cent), was due to ischaemia in four, intractable stricture in two and stomal ulceration in two. Leakage from the proximal anastomosis occurred in 31 per cent of cases and stricture formation in 27 per cent. Thirty per cent of patients complained of acid reflux, of whom one-third developed stomal ulceration. We present data concerning other complications, including long-term recurrent respiratory infections, malabsorption, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, diarrhoea, intestinal obstruction and redundancy of the graft. Staging the procedure did not affect the outcome, however the higher incidence of serious complications encountered following retrosternal interposition finally led us to abandon this procedure in favour of the transthoracic route. There has been little improvement in the growth rate, but in terms of swallowing ability the outcome was satisfactory in 94 per cent of cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800760710","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,3]],"date-time":"2007-03-03T13:21:14Z","timestamp":1172928074000},"page":"681-686","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Colon interposition in children"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"I M","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Birmingham Children's Hospital , Ladywood, Birmingham,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D W","family":"Goh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Birmingham Children's Hospital , Ladywood, Birmingham,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K D","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Birmingham Children's Hospital , Ladywood, Birmingham,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L D","family":"Abrams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Birmingham Children's Hospital , Ladywood, Birmingham,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1989,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib1","first-page":"1479","article-title":"Ein Beitrag zur Plastischen Bildung eines Neuen Oesophagus","volume":"34","author":"Bircher","year":"1907","journal-title":"Zentralbl Chir"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib2","first-page":"37","article-title":"L'oesophago-jejuno-gastrostomose: nouvelle operation pour retrelis segment intranchissable de o'oesophage","volume":"27","author":"Roux","year":"1907","journal-title":"Sem Med"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib3","first-page":"1209","article-title":"Oesophagoplastik mit Hilfe Des Quercolon","volume":"38","author":"Kelling","year":"1911","journal-title":"Zentralbl Chir"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib4","first-page":"25","article-title":"Treatment of congenital atresia of the oesophagus from a technical point of view","volume":"97","author":"Sandblom","year":"1948","journal-title":"Acta Chir Scand"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib5","first-page":"132","article-title":"Oesophageal reconstruction using colon and terminal ileum","volume":"36","author":"Javid","year":"1954","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib6","first-page":"151","volume-title":"Recent Advances in Paediatrics","author":"Waterston","year":"1954"},{"key":"2024092807293125100_bib7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(82)80318-7","article-title":"Colon interposition.
