Abstract

Reconstruction of pharyngeal defects continues to present a clinical challenge for the head and neck surgeon. We have different reconstructive options to preserve speech, airway, and swallowing functions. Reconstructive surgery implies a balance between oncologic cure, patient morbidity, and quality of life.

Classical reconstructive techniques include pedicled cervical cutaneous or myocutaneous flaps and distal myocutaneous flaps such as from the pectoralis major. Current microvascular technique options have a differing incidence of complications but always with high success rates.

This article reviews the most current options on reconstructive techniques in pharyngeal defects

Resumen

La reconstrucción de defectos faríngeos sigue siendo un reto para el cirujano de cabeza y cuello. Las diferentes opciones reconstructivas van orientadas a mantener la función vocal, la vía aérea y la deglución. La técnica de reconstrucción supone un equilibrio entre la curación oncológica, la morbilidad del paciente y la calidad de vida.

Las técnicas reconstructivas clásicas incluyen los colgajos pediculados cutáneos y miocutáneos cervicales y los colgajos miocutáneos distales, como el de pectoral mayor. Actualmente, las técnicas de reconstrucción microvascular difieren en la incidencia de complicaciones, pero siempre con un alto nivel de viabilidad.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo revisar las opciones actuales en técnicas reconstructivas de defectos faríngeos.
