Abstract:
Objective To explore a new method for the reconstruction of defect after resection of hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal cancer using pulled-up stomach combined with free jejunal flap or lanryngotracheal flap if pulled-up stomach can not reach the level of oral pharynx for ananstamosis.Methods From June 2010 to June 2014,56 cases of hypopharyngeal or cervical esophageal cancer were treated with pharyngogastric anastamosis,in 5 cases of them,because the length of pulled-up stomach was limited and could not reach oral pharynx,free jejunal flap was used in 2 cases with laryngeal invasion and laryngotracheal flap was used in 3 cases without laryngeal invasion to reconstruct the defect between oral pharynx and stomach.Results Pharyngeal fistula occurred in 1 case with laryngotracheal flap reconstruction,but healed after 2 weeks of wound dressing.Other 4 cases had oral liquid diet two weeks after surgery and did not occur any complications such as infection or pharyngeal fistula.Follow-up showed 1 case died from mediastinal and lung metastases after 3 years,1 case had cervical lymph recurrence after 2 years and still survived,and other 3 cases were tumor free survival for 28,37,and 56 months respectively.Conclusions The defect after resection of hypopharyngeal and esophageal cancer can be reconstructed with pulled-up stomach combined with free jejunal flap or lanryngotracheal flap if pulled-up stomach can not reach the level of oral pharynx for ananstamosis.
