Abstract:
We present 8 cases of microvascular reconstruction of the pharynx and cervical esophagus using 5 free ileal transfers and 3 radial forearm flaps. One of the skin flaps underwent a delay procedure a month before transfer. All flaps survived, though there were 2 salivary fistulas that healed spontaneously.
