[Reconstruction of defects following pharyngolaryngectomy with free transplanted jejunum].
We report 10 patients undergoing pharyngo-laryngectomy in whom the pharyngeal defect was reconstructed with a free jejunal graft. This method is technically demanding. The advantages are excellent healing due to the excellent blood supply of the edges of the graft, and the almost unlimited supply of jejunum. The use of this method is justified by the immediate restoration of deglutition.
