  • Title: Pharyngoesophageal reconstruction with a tensor fasciae latae free flap.
    Author: Endo T, Nakayama Y.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1995 Feb; 95(2):400-5. PubMed ID: 7824624.
    Abstract:
    This report describes our experience with the use of a tensor fasciae latae flap in total reconstructions of the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus. This flap is durable, reliable, and easy to elevate. Moreover, it is possible to obtain a tight two-layer closure of the circumferential suture lines by means of the vascularized fascia. We think this flap will be one of the methods of choice in reconstructions of the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus.
