Description
Summary:Highlights • The normal radiological appearance following colonic replacement of the esophagus in children. • The characteristic radiological features of the commonly encountered complications following colonic replacement of the esophagus in children. • A new grading system to describe the degree of redundancy of the colonic conduit in the thorax. • Postoperative dysphagia results from a stricture at the site of the esophago-colic anastomosis in the neck. • Gastro-colic reflux is common among cases that underwent colonic replacement of the esophagus without an anti-reflux procedure.
