Abstract
Introduction: Combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy poses a challenge for reconstruction. Case Report: We report a case of a combined pancreaticoduodenectomy and esophagectomy for synchronous pancreatic and esophageal cancer, with reconstruction using a supercharged jejunal interposition. Discussion: The supercharged jejunal anastomosis is a versatile option for foregut reconstruction.
