Patient Population
A retrospective case series review was conducted in University Hospital
Monklands, a district general hospital, from January 2005 (when the
senior author SKK started his consultancy post), until December 2020.
This identified all patients who had undergone circumferential
laryngopharyngectomy +/- cervical oesophagectomy with dual flap
reconstruction using the deltopectoral (DP) flap to reconstruct the
posterior wall and another flap to cover the defect anterolaterally.
Eight patients were identified, with procedures performed between April
2018 and December 2020.
