Reconstruction of the Cervical Aerodigestive Tract - Pierre M D Delaere - Bog

Speech, swallowing, and respiration are vital functions of the cervical aerodigestive tract. In case of a major defect in this area, flap reconstruction is frequently necessary to preserve maximal postsurgical function.
This is the first work devoted exclusively to the reconstruction of the cervical aerodigestive tract. In this lavishly illustrated atlas, flap reconstruction of the larynx, trachea, hypopharynx, and cervical esophagus is covered. It provides step-by-step details of the technique leading to functional repair and improved quality of life.
