Özet
In this report, we describe a case of difficult esophageal reconstruction using temporary banking of a jejunal free flap. This flap was temporarily placed on the patient's chest wall using the internal mammary vessels (IMVs) as recipient vessels. After 15 days, the jejunal flap was transferred to the neck region, and permanent coverage was provided using a pedicled latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap.
