ABSTRACT
Seventy-five patients underwent gastric transposition for replacement of the pharyngoesophagus. These patients had primary or recurrent malignant tumors of the hypopharynx, postcricoid region, and cervical esophagus. The operative procedure consisted of a transhiatal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up to establish gastrointestinal continuity, with a unilateral or bilateral neck dissection where indicated. Seven patients died, a mortality rate of 9.33%. The average hospital stay of uncomplicated cases was 18 days and for complicated cases was 40 days. Immediate restoration of oral intake was achieved in 70.6% of patients. We conclude that gastric transposition after circumferential laryngopharyngeal excision is a procedure with low mortality and acceptable morbidity leading to early relief of dysphagia.
