Free jejunal grafts have been used in the surgical treatment of patients with carcinoma of the pharynx and upper esophagus. Post-operative complications, including swallowing difficulty, are frequent and radiographic assessment may be required. In this pictorial paper, we describe the surgical technique of free jejunal grafting of the pharyngoesophagus, and the radiographic appearances and clinical importance of early and delayed complications following the procedure. Dysphagia after placement of a jejunal graft is a common occurrence which is often multifactorial, and may be related to functional, anatomic, or a combination of factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
