title: [Technique of microvascular jejunum transfer for replacement of the cervical esophagus].
abstract: Technique and results of the first 10 free jejunal grafts after pharyngolaryngectomy are presented. End-to-side venous anastomosis and end-to-side pharyngojejunostomy instead of end-to-end techniques are proposed. Hospital mortality was 0 and as minor complications 1 uncomplicated fistula of the proximal and 1 stenosis of the distal anastomosis along with 1 wound infection were seen. There were no vascular complications and no graft loss. All patients were able to swallow and to eat thus an excellent quality of life was achieved.
