title: [Reconstruction with free jejunal graft after pharyngo-esophageal resection for cancer: functional results and survival].
abstract: 57 patients with cancer of the hypopharynx underwent 59 pharyngo-esophageal reconstructions with a free jejunal graft after total removal of a tumor combined with resection of the circumferential tissues. 18 patients had been previously irradiated. Median resumption of oral intake was 16 days; 40 out of 50 patients (98%) followed for more than 2 years regained normal eating habits. The cumulative 5-year survival rate was 44%. The free jejunal graft should be advocated as a safe and reliable procedure for hypopharyngeal cancer.
