Résumé
Salvage total laryngectomy is a common treatment option for patients with recurrent or residual laryngeal cancer after primary radiotherapy. If the tumor is limited to the larynx at the time of surgery, there is usually sufficient mucosa for primary closure of the hypopharynx. We present an unusual case of pharyngoesophageal defect caused by radiotherapy. Since the remaining mucosa of the posterior wall was insufficient for primary closure, the defect was reconstructed with an anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap.
