Reconstruction of the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus with gastric pull-up technique in the patient with recurrence carcinoma of the hypopharynx
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2008, Vol 62, Issue 5
Abstract
Patient with hypopharyngeal cancer are difficult to treat because they usually present with advanced disease, poor general health status and severe nutritional problems. Because of the poor prognosis, careful consideration has to be given regarding the choice of the correct surgical approach for respirato-digestive tract reconstruction. The authors present a case of recurrent hypopharyngeal cancer with cervical esophagus infiltration successfully treated with total laryngectomy and esophagectomy and gastric pull up reconstruction. Indications for technique, method of reconstruction and complications are discussed. As most authors we consider the gastric transposition method as the preferred approach to restore digestive continuity after total esophagectomy. As the method is the single stage procedure it provides the best palliation of dysphagia and allows early resumption of an oral diet.
