Experience of delayed esophageal endoscopic demucoization after separation of the esophagogastric anastomosis followed by delayed esophageal reconstruction using a segment of the colon

We demonstrate a clinical case of successful total esophageal demucoization in a 69-year-old patient in order to eliminate salivary esophageal fistula and pleural empyema after laparoscopic proximal subtotal gastric resection for early gastric cancer complicated by the failure of esophageal anastomosis, followed by delayed coloesophagoplasty.
