Pearson's General Thoracic
Free Vascularized Grafts in Pharyngo-Esophageal Reconstruction
Key Points
- From a functional viewpoint: a partial hypopharyngeal defect is more preferable than a total hypopharyngeal defect.
- There is no “workhorse” flap for a total laryngopharyngectomy defect.
- All free flaps have their pro’s and con’s when used for pharygo-esophageal reconstruction.
There's more to see -- the rest of this topic is available only to subscribers.
