A surgical schematic depicts colon interposition used as an esophageal conduit for advanced achalasia. The large intestine (organ) with preserved mesenteric arcade is mobilized and anastomosed to the proximal esophagus superiorly and to the stomach inferiorly, forming a neo-esophagus that restores alimentary continuity and swallowing. In the biological hierarchy, the colon is an organ within the gastrointestinal system. Relevant disciplines include human anatomy and gastrointestinal/thoracic surgery. The illustrated species is Homo sapiens (human). Abbreviation: LES (lower esophageal sphincter) dysfunction characterizes achalasia.
