Abstract

The authors summarise their reconstructive surgical experience after the radical excision of hypopharyngeal tumours. In selective cases the preservation of the larynx is a reliable surgical option and supraglottic surgery is sufficient to remove the tumour. Myocutaneous paddle flaps were used in every case after the surgical resection for the reconstruction of the pharyngo-oesophageal entrance. After total circular pharyngo-laryngectomy, the continuity of the upper digestive tract was reconstructed by tubed myocutanous flaps.
