Repair of traumatic cervical esophageal stenosis using microvascular free jejunum transfer
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
|September 1, 1984
Abstract:
Three cases of nonneoplastic stricture of the cervical esophagus and pharynx repaired by free jejunal transfer are reported. This technique permits repair of various circumferential defects of the pharynx and esophagus in a single stage without compromising laryngeal function. None of the patients required subsequent dilatation to restore satisfactory swallowing.
