Abstract
Background The reconstructive goals after laryngopharyngoesophagectomy are the reestablishment of the digestive conduit, achievement of adequate swallowing, and voice restoration. The pharyngoesophageal segment is typically reconstructed with a jejunal or a fasciocutaneous free flap. The gastro-omental free flap offers unique advantages in high-risk surgical fields. The best reconstructive option is still a matter of controversy. A retrospective study was conducted to assess the morbidity and functional results of microsurgical pharyngoesophageal reconstructions performed at our institution in the last 16 years and compare them with the literature.
