Abstract
• This work represents a 12-year experience from the Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, with 115 patients who had pharyngoesophageal resections for cancer treatment. Each patient received reconstruction by one of four major techniques: deltopectoral flaps (n = 43), pectoralis myocutaneous flaps (n = 36), gastric pull-ups (n = 19), and free jejunal autografts (n = 17). An analysis of the procedures with emphasis on the functional results indicates that each technique has advantages in specific circumstances. Guidelines for the application of these techniques are presented.
