[Laryngopharyngectomy and free jejunal graft reconstruction in the treatment of hypopharyngeal tumors].

The authors performed a total laryngopharyngectomy due to a hypopharyngeal neoplasm.

On the occasion of this case the authors give a survey of the therapeutical methods used in the therapy of hypopharyngeal tumors, of the indications of the free jejunal transplant and of the technical issues and complications of this procedure.
