Intraluminal negative pressure wound therapy for optimizing pharyngeal reconstruction.
IMPORTANCE Pharyngocutaneous fistula formation after pharyngeal reconstruction is one of the most common and challenging problems to manage. Despite many advances in management, the published success rates indicate a role for any adjuvant therapy that could potentially decrease this complication. OBJECTIVE To describe the use of intraluminal negative pressure dressings (NPDs) in pharyngeal re...
متن کاملPharyngeal constrictions.
From a fiberscope, the tip of which was swung from left to right in the pharynx, cinefilm frames were obtained which showed the cross-sectional shape of pharyngeal constrictions in back vowels. This information was combined with the information offered by X-ray pictures of the same subject phonating the same vowels on a different occasion. The results agree to a reasonable extent with previousl...
متن کاملReconstruction of pharyngeal defects with a submental island flap after hypopharyngeal carcinoma ablation.
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the oncologic and functional results of pharyngeal defect reconstruction using a submental island flap in hypopharyngeal cancer patients. METHODS Functional and oncologic results were assessed in 14 patients based on a retrospective chart review. Speech function grading was as follows: 1 = excellent (>70% intelligibility); 2 = good (40-70% intelligibility)...
متن کاملT-shaped Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of an Extensive Circumferential Pharyngeal Defect
SUMMARY In the era of free-flap transfer, the pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap still plays a unique role in head and neck reconstruction. We report on a patient with a recurrent hypopharyngeal carcinoma after total pharyngolaryngectomy and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in whom defects included a circumferential defect of the oropharynx and the entire tongue. The defects were successfully rec...
متن کاملMorbidity and functional outcomes following gastro-omental free flap reconstruction of circumferential pharyngeal defects.
BACKGROUND In patients with extensive soft tissue fibrosis requiring circumferential pharyngeal reconstruction following definitive radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, we take advantage of abundant omental progenitor factors in the tubed gastro-omental free flap. This study reviews our experience with this flap. METHODS Review of 11 patients (median follow-up, 2.8 years) undergoing total pharyn...
