چکیده

We experienced a case of wide necrosis of the cervical gastric conduit during esophageal cancer surgery. We attempted to repair this defect with various methods including conservative care, stents two times, and sternocleidomastoid muscle flap without successful results. Finally, we were able to reconstruct the gastric conduit defect with rotational pectoralis major musculocutaneous (PMM) flap. PMM flap is thought to be a reconstruction method applicable to the intractable gastric conduit defect.

بررسی اثر انجام جراحی ازوفاژکتومی و ازوفاگوگاستروستومی گردنی با و بدون پیلورومیوتومی در میزان تخلیه معده جایگزین شده

Background and purpose: A gastric conduit is usually used to reconstruct the foregut after esophagectomy for cancer. The gastric emptying may be impaired after this operation, so some esophageal surgeons routinely add a pyloric drainage procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the emptying of the intrathoracic stomach after esophagectomy and cervical esophagogastrostomy with or witho...

The pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap in head and neck cancer reconstruction

Introduction: The pectoralis major flap was initially described by Ariyan in the 1970s. It has high acceptance due to its versatility for head and neck cancer reconstruction. Methods: This flap was used for the reconstruction of 46 patients with head and neck cancer, as following: mouth/tongue reconstruction (24); pharyngoesophageal transit reconstruction (11); repair of cervical skin loss (4);...

Comment: Delayed cervical esophagogastrostomy: a surgical alternative for patients with ischemia of the gastric conduit at time of esophagectomy.

Ischemia of the gastric conduit after esophagectomy represents a setback that increases the risk of anastomotic leak. In order to prevent this severe complication, a surgical alternative has been proposed which consists in delaying the reconstruction until gastric perfusion improves. By adopting this strategy we can avoid two other surgical options that may significantly increase the risk of co...

Deltopectoral and Pectoralis Musculocutaneous Flap Technique for Cervical Esophageal Reconstruction after Free-Jejunal-Flap Necrosis

BACKGROUND Free jejunal transfer has a high success rate, but if vascular thrombosis occurs, the salvage of failing flap with reanastomosis is difficult. This study described a combined deltopectoral (DP) and pectoralis major musculocutaneous (PMMC) flap 2-step technique for cervical esophageal reconstruction after free-jejunal-flap necrosis. METHODS In step 1, the detection of free jejunal f...
