| Abstract | Reconstruction of pharyngo-esophagectomy defects after tumour extirpation is challenging. The aim of reconstruction is to facilitate wound healing with minimal risk of complications such as pharyngo- cutaneous fistula. In the long term, the reconstructed neopharynx should allow unrestricted passage of food and no adverse effect on speech rehabilitation. Popular choice of flap include skin flaps, such as the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap and the free anterolateral thigh flap, as well as visceral flaps, such as the free jejunal graft. Study showed that free jejunal graft is superior to skin flaps with significantly lower risk of early leakage and late stricture formation. Donor site morbidities are uncommon, although potentially serious. Studu also showed that the free jejunal graft tolerate post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy well. In suitable patients, free jejunal graft is the preferable choice for the reconstruction of pharyngo-esophageal defects. |
