Circular pharyngolaryngectomy for oncologic resection requires a tubular reconstruction. Different options can be proposed to the patient: digestive free flap, fasciocutaneous flap, or musculocutaneous flap. The jejunum free flap is a tubular flap commonly used in esophageal and pharyngeal reconstruction with good functional outcomes and an acceptable rate of complications.

We evaluated a new therapeutic strategy based on a second IVT using tenecteplase for MeVOs without early recanalization post-alteplase.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective, comparative study included consecutively low bleeding risk MeVO patients treated with alteplase 0.
Introduction: Subcricoid-hemilaryngopharyngectomy (SCHLP) with a reconstruction using a fasciocutaneous free flap armed with cartilage graft (FFACG) aims to avoid permanent tracheostomy while still maintaining the laryngopharyngeal functions. The purpose of this study is to report the outcome of this surgical approach.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study including 17 men operated between 2001 and 2019.
Background: One of the challenges after total pharyngolaryngectomy (TPL) is to restore the swallowing function. The aim of this study was to compare swallowing outcomes between patients who underwent reconstruction with jejunum free flap (JFF) and other free flaps (OFFs).
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent TPL and free flap reconstruction.
