Laryngopharyngeal reconstruction has remained a challenging field since the performance of the first laryngectomy near the turn of the century. Cutaneous, myocutaneous and colonic reconstruction is still occasionally used but is fraught with a high stenosis and fistula rate. Gastric pull-up has remained the procedure of choice for single staged pedicled reconstruction. Free tissue transfer has brought a new era to this field by adding another single staged reconstruction. This publication reviews our experience with free jejunal transfer and reviews recent developments in laryngopharyngeal reconstruction.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.
