Supraclavicular artery pedicled flap in reconstruction of pharyngocutaneous fistulas after total laryngectomy
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the efficacy of treatment of closure of cutaneopharyngeal fistulas, following total laryngectomy, using a fasciocutaneous flap. In the group of 6 patients treated in years 2013-2014, in 4 (67%) patients the healing process was successful, in one patient complete flap necrosis was noted on the 6th day, in another patient a small cutaneopharyngeal fistula was recognized, which closed secondarily with no intervention. Flaps of this type, having a small risk of local complications at donor site and satisfactory functional and aesthetic results, may be an alternative form of flap to others used in the reconstruction of superficial deficits in the head and neck areas
