title: [Free small intestine transplantation with microvascular anastomosis for complete replacement of the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus].
abstract: 12 patients were operated on due to a cancer of the hypopharynx (T2-T4, N2-3). After resection, the reconstruction was performed with a free jejunal segment. Intraoperatively the venous anastomosis had to be renewed in 2 cases. One of these patients developed postoperatively a partial necrosis of the transplant. A further patient developed an insufficiency of the proximal anastomosis. One patient died on the 12th postoperative day due to a myocardial infarction. The median survival time was 17 months.
