Free Jejunal Patch Graft for Reconstruction After Partial Hypopharyngectomy With Laryngeal Preservation
Abstract: Free jejunal patch graft transfer after partial hypopharyngectomy allows satisfactory swallowing function, with a low complication rate. Postoperative dysphagia was slightly more common in the PS-PW group than in the PW group.

“…In our series the rate of fistula formation was 7%, whereas the incidence of fistula formation after free skin flap pharyngral reconstruction has been reported to be 11% [8] and 25% [9]. Free jejunal transfer is reported to have 11% risk of fistula formation [1]. Our results confirmed that free skin flap reconstruction was reliable and the complication rate is no higher than that in the free jejunal transfer.…”

“…In contrast, one of the most widely used flaps in this field is definitely the RFFF, due to its thinness and pliability, which is particularly suitable for the reconstruction of the delicate hypopharyngeal mucosa 21 , 24 . In the literature, good results have also been reported with free jejunal patch graft for reconstruction of defects after LH with laryngeal preservation 18 , 23 . However, potentially life-threatening complications such as bowel anastomotic leakage, bowel obstruction, and abdominal wound dehiscence have been described 25 .…”

“…Free jejunal patch graft transfer after partial hypopharyngectomy has demonstrated satisfactory swallowing function with low complication rates, making it a viable reconstruction option for posterior hypopharyngeal/upper esophageal wall defects. Notably, 95% of patients resumed oral intake, with outcomes varying slightly based on defect extent [ 13 ]. Similarly, the free jejunal graft is an established technique for circumferential hypopharyngeal/upper esophageal defects, providing early restoration of oral intake and low rates of fistula formation [ 22 , 33 ].…”
