- Abstract
Objective: Larynx-preserving surgery is frequently performed for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer involving the larynx. However, reconstruction after partial pharyngolaryngectomy (PPL) remains a challenging problem because of the high risk of postoperative aspiration. In this report, we describe our new three-dimensional method for reconstructing supraglottic structures with a radial forearm flap. This is a retrospective analysis of 20 patients who underwent PPL for having hypopharyngeal cancer involving the larynx at our institution from 1996 to 2005.
