Laryngotracheal flap was used in hypopharyngaesophageal reconstruction for 26 elderly patients with advanced pyriform sinus cancer Pharyngocutaneous fistula developed in 5 patients and healed spontaneously without further surgery. Full diet was resumed in all the patients. The surgical technique and its advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The laryngotracheal flap in the reconstruction of hypopharyngoesophageal defect for elderly patients is a procedure of choice.展开更多
