title: A novel surgical method of managing a high output pharyngostome.
abstract: Pharyngocutaneous fistulas following large oncological surgical resection of the upper aerodigestive tract are common and typically heal over a number of weeks. A pharyngostome is a surgically created non-healing opening into the pharynx, which is far less common and often difficult to manage.
