    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Pharyngoesophageal cancer treatment often necessitates complex surgical resection.
    • Reconstruction following pharyngoesophageal resection is critical for functional recovery.
    • Evaluating long-term outcomes of different reconstructive techniques is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the functional results of four major pharyngoesophageal reconstruction techniques.
    • To provide evidence-based guidelines for selecting the optimal reconstruction method.
    • To share a 12-year experience with 115 patients undergoing pharyngoesophageal resection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 115 patients undergoing pharyngoesophageal resection for cancer.

  • Comparison of four reconstruction techniques: deltopectoral flaps, pectoralis myocutaneous flaps, gastric pull-ups, and free jejunal autografts.
  • Emphasis on functional outcomes and patient-specific advantages of each method.

    • Main Results:

    • Deltopectoral flaps (n=43), pectoralis myocutaneous flaps (n=36), gastric pull-ups (n=19), and free jejunal autografts (n=17) were utilized.
    • Each technique demonstrated specific advantages in different clinical scenarios.
    • Functional results varied depending on the chosen reconstructive approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of pharyngoesophageal reconstruction technique should be tailored to individual patient circumstances.
    • Understanding the functional outcomes associated with each method is crucial for surgical decision-making.
    • Guidelines are presented to aid in the application of these reconstructive techniques for pharyngoesophageal cancer.
