RESUMEN
Benign strictures of the cervical esophagus that are resistant to dilation present a formidable challenge to the surgeon. Numerous varied techniques have been developed to restore swallowing. Reports of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous pedicled flap for repair of benign cervical strictures are scarce. We are reporting a case of residual lye stricture that was treated with sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous esophagoplasty in order to promote awareness of this procedure. This one-stage operation took 1 hour to complete. The patient began eating on postoperative day 4 and has not had any further symptoms.
