ABSTRACT

Laryngopharyngeal defects that can not be directly closed due to fistulae or stenosis, may be reconstructed using free or regional flaps. The cervical dermoplatisma fascia flap is a mucocutaneous one, which is well vascularized, and it is elevated during laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors resection. We describe a technique for hypopharyngeal reconstruction with a dermoplatisma facial flap. In patients with parcial laryngopharyngeal defects, this flap should be considered as easy to do in one time alternative, versus a more complex kind of reconstruction.
