OBJECTIVES: Gastric pull-up is a common technique in the reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity following surgery for the primary esophageal and @entity5 with involvement of the esophagus. We evaluated the results of surgery in @entity1 with cervical esophageal and @entity5 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Eleven @entity1 (4 @entity1 , 7 @entity1 ; mean age 46 years; range 18 to 70 years) underwent surgery for hypopharyngeal and cervical @entity418 . Surgery included pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy, and gastric pull-up in all @entity1 . In addition, nine @entity1 had radical neck dissection on the involved side and modified radical neck dissection on the contralateral side. One @entity1 had bilateral radical neck dissection. @entity1 who were alive were followed-up for a mean period of 27 months (range 14 to 46 months). RESULTS: The one-, two-, and three-year survival rates were 54% (6/11), 36% (4/11) and 18% (2/11), respectively. Three @entity1 died from early postoperative complications, two from organ failure due to locoregional recurrence (7th month) and to distant @entity3 (11th month). CONCLUSION: Despite the small size of the study, the results favor the use of gastric pull-up in selected @entity1 with cervical esophageal and @entity5 .
