[The perioperative treatment of hypopharyngeal carcinoma with cervical esophageal invasion].

OBJECTIVE

To present our experiences of perioperative therapy on 7 patients suffered from hypopharyngeal carcinoma with cervical esophageal invasion.

METHOD: Among the 7 patients, 6 patients had unilateral functional neck dissection, total laryngoesophagectomy and reconstruction with gastric pulling-up. One patient had gastrectomy, reconstruction with colonic pulling-up as well as radical neck dissection, total laryngoesophagectomy. Five of 7 patients have unilateral partial thyroidectomy.

RESULT: All patients complained of vomiting and other abnomalities of digestion, 1 case complicated with pharyngocutaneous fistula, 1 patient developed acute renal failure, postoperatively.
