Reconstruction of cervical esophagus and hypopharynx following cervical esophagectomy and laryngopharyngectomy is generally performed using jejunal autograft interposition. However, this method has some disadvantages and is not suitable for optimal swallowing function. In our institution, free transverse colonic graft has been successfully applied for reconstructive purposes in 12 cases since 1986. The present report describes a case of upper esophageal web accompanying superficial squamous cell carcinoma and details the operative techniques utilized.
