Microvascular grafting to enhance perfusion in colonic long-segment oesophageal reconstruction.

Supercharged colonic interposition is a safe way of oesophageal reconstruction when long-segment interposition graft is needed. In oesophageal cancer and in the absence of a viable stomach with intact gastroepiploic arcade, it should be considered a feasible option with favourable outcomes, when the expertise and facilities are available. Use of intraoperative perfusion imaging reveals improved conduit blood supply post-supercharging.
