Abstract:
Delto pectoral flap is a thin and pliable cutaneous axial flap suitable for the reconstruction of pharynx and upper oesophagus. Corrosive stricture of the pharyngo oesophageal area can very well be reconstructed by deltopectoral flap. Oesophageal reconstruction by viscera like stomach or colon often produces anastomic stricture at the upper anastomic site with hypopharynx or upper oesophagus. Delto pectoral flap can also be used to reconstruct this anastomotic stricture. Postoperative swallowing is satisfactory when reconstruction is done with this flap.
