[Comments on reconstruction after postcricoid carcinoma surgery].
Within the years 1989-1999, 44 hypopharynx carcinoma operations were held. Five patients have been selected for anterior wall esophagus reconstruction with anterior part of larynx. Preservation of the esophagus posterior wall mucosa and a loss of not more than 4 cm oesophagus were the indication for this kind of reconstruction. One of the patients who underwent the operation died of metastasis within a year, two of them after three and five years because of other diseases. Two patient survived--one three years, and the other one half a year from the operation. The authors would like to indicate the functional results of the treatment.
