Popis: Revision surgery following colon interposition is a challenging problem. We describe a case of successful surgery for neo-esophago-sternocutaneous fistula as a late complication following coloesophagoplasty for intractable benign stricture. The cutaneous part of the fistula was excised and the distal part of the sternum was resected. On the anterior wall of the colon graft, there was a large defect that communicated with the posterior wall of the osteomyelitis-transformed sternum with sinus track formation. After excising the edges of the neoesophagus defect, Roux-en-Y neo-esophagojejunostomy and gastrostomy were carried out.
