Abstract

Objective: Describe the reconstruction of pharyngeal defect after total laryngectomy by the supraclavicular artery island flap. Subjects and method:  Patient was diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer and received total laryngectomy and reconstructed pharyngeal defect by supraclavicular artery island flap. Case report. Results: the hyphopharyngeal cancer tumor was complete resected with negative margins, the flap are survival and good healing postoperative 8 weeks with no flap loss, no pharyngeal fistula, no pharyngeal stenois and good swallowing function. Conclusion: reconstructed pharyngeal defect by supraclavicular artery island flap is easy and quick technique, supraclavicular flap are pedicle flap, suitable for reconstruction of pharyngeal defect, easy survival and good healing with pharyngeal mucosa.
