Pyaryngogastrostomy in an epiglottectomized patient
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The patient was 21-years old male who had gastrostomy and tracheostomy after swallowing lye-stuff in July 1971. He could restore his normal voice and breathing after removal of his destructed epiglottis obstructing his upper airway two years later.
Pharyngogastomy was performed in November 1973. The esophsgus which was totally obliterated in its full length was removed and the stomach was brought high up to the level of pharynx where it was anastomosed to the posterior wall of pharynx.
His postoperative course was temporarily complicated by aspiration of small food into trachea which could be completely relieved with training, and he is doing his normal life quite well on the follow-up.
