Abstract

Hypophayngeal cancers are usually diagnosed in advanced stages and in many cases, they need total pharyngocervical esophagectomy and surgical reconstruction. Among many surgical reconstructive methods, jejunal free flap has anatomical and functional advantages such as tubed nature, peristaltic activity, excellent blood supply. In this study we analysed the surgical procedure and complications of jejunal free flap after total pharyngo-cervical esophagectomy. 20 cases performed jejunal free flap from 1995 to 2007 at Severance Hospital were reviewed. According to time of onset, early and late complications were reviewed. Surgical procedure was reviewed with operation record. Oral diet tolerance was reviewed on the basis of pharyngogram and subjective symptoms. The most common complication was stricture, and it occurred in 40% of cases and 63% of them were managed with conservative care. As early complication, fistula formation was all managed with conservative care. Oral feeding tolerance after jejunal free flap was 65% and 7 patients were tolerable to general diet. In our study, stricture was the most common complication and its management is important in post op oral diet tolerance.

진행된 하인두암의 수술 후 시행한 유리 공장 이식술을 시행한 본원의 경험에서 수술 후 누공 형성, 수술 부위 협착 등의 다양한 합병증과 그 치료방법을 경험하였다. 수술 방법에 있어서 한 개의 동맥과 정맥을 연결하였고 이식한 혈관의 혈전에 의한 이식 실패는 없었다. 수술 후 연하 기능에 있어서 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 요인은 이식 부위 협착이 었으며 협착의 치료 결과에 따라 술 후 연하 기능의 회복에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.
