Acute gastric necrosis is a rare event requiring organ resection. Delayed reconstruction is advisable in patients with peritonitis and sepsis. The most common complication of gastrectomy with reconstruction is failure of esophagojejunostomy and duodenal stump. In case of severe esophagojejunostomy failure, appropriate surgical approach and timing of reconstructive stage should be analyzed. We report one-stage reconstructive surgery in a patient with multiple fistulas after previous gastrectomy. Surgery included reconstructive jejunogastroplasty with jejunal graft interposition. The patient underwent previous several unsuccessful reconstructive procedures complicated by failure of esophagojejunostomy and duodenal stump with external intestinal, duodenal and esophageal fistulas. Nutritional insufficiency, water and electrolyte disorders due to significant loss of proteins and intestinal juice through the drain tubes deteriorated clinical status. Surgical procedures finished reconstruction, provided closure of multiple fistulas and stomas and restored physiological duodenal passage.
