Abstract
The authors describe a rare complication following total gastrectomy or reconstruction using a Roux-en-Y loop: the presence of a metal mandrel used to insert the nasogastric tube in the end tract was discovered during esophagojejunal anastomosis. The object was extracted by esophagoscopy without damage to the patient.
