MICROSURGICA.L TREATMENT OF UPPER ESOPHAGEAL CARCINOMA (FREE JEJUNAL LOOP TRANSFER)
author
Abstract:
There are unfortunately a relatively large number of cases of esophageal cancer in Iran as well as other countries, and one of the most difficult problems facing surgeons is the reconstruction of the esophagus and restoration of its function after excision of the tumor. From 1978 to 1987,20 patients (16 male, 4 female) ranging in age from 22 to 68 years were surgically treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical esophagus using free jejunal loop transfer by microsurgical technique. Patients were followed up for two years postoperatively. The rate of recurrence of primary neoplasm was 50%. We consider free jejunal loop transfer a suitable alternative in the management of upper esophageal carcinoma, especially those complicated by previous reconstructive methods.

In this paper, two patients with severe dysphagia and esophageal stricture secondary to epidermolysis bullosa are presented and discussed. They are siblings of an affected family. Primary resection and anastomosis had been performed previously in both patients, but dysphagia had recurred. We treated these patients with free jejunal graft to the esophagus with excellent results. Both patient...

Management of long bone defects occurring in accidents or war injuries is a difficult problem, From 1978 to 1986, 11 patients were treated for long bone defects of the humerus ( 10 cases) and radius (one case), using free vascularized fibular transfer by microsurgical technique .The patients were followed for 4 months and in all of them, selective angiography and scanning revealed exellent...

BACKGROUND Losing the ability to speak severely affects the quality of life, and patients who have undergone laryngectomy tend to become depressed, which may lead to social withdrawal. Recently, with advancements in chemoradiotherapy and with alternative perspectives on postoperative quality of life, larynx preservation has been pursued; however, the selection of candidates and the optimal reco...
full textSurgical results of upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Due to its anatomical location, carcinoma of the upper thoracic esophagus (i.e. below the thoracic inlet and above the carina) often results in early invasion of adjacent structures and precludes radical resection. The prognosis of carcinoma of the upper thoracic esophagus was considered worse than that of distal esophagus. There are few studies specifically addressing the prognostic...
