What is Problems in Reconstructive Surgery in the Treatment of Carcinoma of the Hypopharyngoesophageal Junction about?
## Background and objectives: Thirty percent of carcinomas of the pyriform sinus manifest generally with infiltrations in the cervical esophagus. in recent years, progress in reconstructive surgery has broadened surgical indications to include tumors previously managed with palliative measures alone. in some cases, radical surgery has been extended to creating safer resection margins, with more and more indications for circular pharyngectomy. lesions involving the hypopharyngoesophageal junction pose particular problems; furthermore, the high rate of synchronous or metachronous tumors warrants the indication for total esophagectomy, which requires complex reconstructive techniques. ## Methods: We report on a series of 21 patients who underwent pharyngocoloplasties after receiving total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy. ## Results: With regard to the oncologic results, after a follow-up of 2-60 months, 9 patients had no evidence of disease, 5 patients died during the postoperative course, 2 patients survived with disease, 4 died with disease, 1 died from metachronous breast carcinoma, and 7 underwent reintervention. ## Conclusions: In cases in which reconstruction by gastric pull-up is
