Reconstruction after esophageal cancer esophagectomy represents a complex clinical and surgical question. Patients facing this procedure are fragile with many comorbidities and often a history of chemoradiation and previous surgery. The two main esophageal substitutes are the gastric and colonic conduit, both of which require complex surgical procedures that must be carried out with expertise and knowledge to be successful. In this chapter, we describe our experience with the use of colon interposition.

Abstract
Reconstruction after esophageal cancer esophagectomy represents a complex clinical and surgical question. Patients facing this procedure are fragile with many comorbidities and often a history of chemoradiation and previous surgery. The two main esophageal substitutes are the gastric and colonic conduit, both of which require complex surgical procedures that must be carried out with expertise and knowledge to be successful. In this chapter, we describe our experience with the use of colon interposition.
