Long gap esophageal atresia continues to be a therapeutic challenge for the pediatric surgeon. Although numerous methods have been described to achieve esophageal continuity in infants with esophageal atresia, esophageal replacement is often required if these methods fail. A common method of esophageal replacement in children is the use of a colon graft. Complications include cervical anastomotic leak, stricture, redundant intrathoracic colon with stasis, and cologastric reflux. We present an 11-year-old male with swallowing difficulties because of redundancy of the colon after undergoing colon interposition for long gap atresia. The patient underwent a successful transhiatal mobilization of the intrathoracic colon and stapled tapering coloplasty. The patient currently remains symptom-free.
