  • Title: Hypopharyngeal reconstruction with free microvascular jejunal transfer after total laryngopharyngectomy.
    Author: Pukander J, Lähteenmäki T, Matikainen M, Isolauri J, Waris T, Karma P.
    Journal: Acta Oncol; 1990; 29(4):525-7. PubMed ID: 2390277.
    Abstract:
    One-stage laryngopharyngeal free microvascular jejunal transfer after total laryngopharyngectomy was performed in 8 patients with advanced laryngopharyngeal cancer. The study showed that this was a relatively safe and time-saving method for hypopharyngeal reconstruction after radical cancer surgery. It improved the quality of life of the patients, allowing normal alimentation, though in some cases only temporarily due to the highly malignant nature of the disease.
