ABSTRACT

Pharyngoesophageal reconstruction utilizing free jejunal transfer is well established. Extensive resection or debridement for extensive tumor, infection, or radiation may necessitate additional soft-tissue coverage. The authors report a successful reconstruction using a split, free, jejunal transfer to provide simultaneous pharyngoesophageal and soft-tissue coverage.
