ABSTRACT
A one-stage procedure to restore the cervical part of the esophagus and laryngopharynx included extended surgery for advanced cancer of the larynx and laryngopharynx and grafting a free revascularized small intestine segment using microvascular technique. Free small intestine transplant proved well-fed by sufficiently large branches of the external carotid artery, and normal venous drainage was retained. The transplant proved biologically best suitable for such type of plastic surgery. Treatment results should be considered promising.
