    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Reconstruction
    • Microsurgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Pharyngolaryngeal defects require complex reconstruction.
    • Microvascular free jejunal transfer is a viable option for tissue reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the outcomes of microvascular free jejunal transfers for pharyngolaryngeal reconstruction.
    • To evaluate the success rate, recovery, and impact of radiotherapy on this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 37 microvascular free jejunal transfers were performed.
    • Reconstruction utilized either a jejunal conduit or a patch for the oropharynx.

    Main Results:

    • The technique demonstrated a high success rate with only two failures (94.6% success).

  • Patients experienced rapid post-operative recovery with low morbidity, often discharged in 7-10 days.
  • Pre-operative or post-operative radiotherapy did not adversely affect the reconstructive outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Microvascular free jejunal transfer is a safe and effective method for pharyngolaryngeal reconstruction.
    • The procedure is associated with favorable patient recovery and minimal complications.
    • Radiotherapy does not compromise the success of jejunal free flap reconstruction in this region.
