We experienced a case of unusual complication following esophageal reconstruction. In 1969, accidentally the patient swallowed lye and was developed benign esophageal stricture one year later. In 1972, esophageal reconstruction with right colon was done but pus was drained out of the abdominal wound. After then wound disruption and healing were repeated. In 1996, stenosis of colonic graft was found and resection of stenotic area and end to end anastomosis was done. We concluded that it was developed inflammatory change of graft by intraoperative infection.
