    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Rekonstruktion im Mundhöhlen-, Pharynx- und im kranialen Ösophagusbereich nach ausgedehnten, radikalen Tumorresektionen stellt eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung dar. Eine vielfach favorisierte Technik ist die rekonstruktive Jejunumautotransplantation, bei welcher der Abdominalchirurg mit der Gewinnung des Autotransplantats beauftragt ist. Die Notwendigkeit des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs macht die vorgestellte Analyse der perioperativen Komplikationen bei der Jejunumentnahme notwendig. Zusätzlich wurden 35 von 66 noch lebenden Patienten mit einem Nachuntersuchungsintervall von durchschnittlich 21 (2–63) Monaten bezüglich abdominaler Spätkomplikationen evaluiert. Bei 90 wegen eines Malignoms der Mundhöhle oder des Oropharynx operierten Patienten war die perioperative Letalität 7,8% (7/90), in keinem Fall auf Basis einer entnahmeassoziierten abdominalen Komplikation. Eine abdominale Revision erfolgte wegen subkutaner Bauchdeckendehiszenz. Aus nicht mit der Dünndarmentnahme in direktem Zusammenhang stehender Ursache mußten 4 Patienten relaparotomiert werden (2 noch während des Krankenhausaufenthalts, 2 Patienten nach erfolgter Entlassung). Bei 5 Patienten wurden konservativ behandelbare minimale Komplikationen festgestellt. Die Nachuntersuchung zeigte außer in 6 Fällen mit kleinen Narbenhernien keine Spätkomplikationen auf. Insgesamt ist festzuhalten, daß trotz des zumeist erhöhten perioperativen Risikos dieses Patientenguts die Komplikationsrate des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs zur Gewinnung des optimalen Rekonstruktionsgewebes gering und vertretbar erscheint.
    Notes: Abstract Reconstruction after radical tumor resection in the oropharyngeal region still represents an interdisciplinary challenge. Autotransplantation of the jejunum is a popular procedure, in which the abdominal surgeon's main task is that of harvesting enteral tissue. To evaluate this technique, a careful analysis of accompanying perioperative abdominal complications was performed. Additionally, we reexamined 35 of 66 patients still living after a follow-up period of 21 (range 2–63) months on average. The perioperative mortality of 90 patients treated for oropharyngeal malignancy using the described procedure was 7.8%. None of the perioperative deaths was caused by an abdominal complication associated with enteral resection. One abdominal reoperation was performed because of abdominal wall dehiscence. For reasons not related to enteral resection, four further patients had to be relaparotomized, two of them during their hospital stay and two after leaving hospital. In five cases we observed minor complications which could be treated nonsurgically. In the follow-up reexamination we detected no abdominal late-onset complication except small incisional hernias in six cases. Finally, we concluded that despite an elevated overall operative risk in this population, complications owing to jejunal resection were comparably low. The data regarding the rate of complications classify jejunal resection as a safe procedure for reconstructive purposes in patients suffering from oropharyngeal malignancy.

    Notes: Abstract  Until now the microvascular fasciocutaneous radial forearm flap has been one of several methods favoured for reconstruction of intraoral soft tissue defects after radical resection of squamous cell carcinoma. Mucosal reconstruction and lining has been performed by a skin island, this is epidermis and cannot produce mucus. In order to provide mucosal properties and allow mucus production, a distal radial forarm flap has been successfully prelaminated with buccal mucosa in five patients. By this method thin, pliable and resistant flaps have been produced. Due to mucosal spreading, the mucosa lined area was 30–50% larger than the originally inserted mucosal grafts. Preservation of skin and subcutaneous tisssue lowered donor site morbidity. This technique has also been performed in axial pattern flaps; two osteofasciomucosal fibulae and three myomucosal pectoralis major flaps.

    Notes: Abstract  In order to reconstruct intraoral lining defects after radical tumor resection, mucosal prelamination of the fascia of the distal radial forearm flap was performed in ten patients. By this method a physiologic reconstruction with mucus-producing tissue could be achieved. Preservation of skin and subcutaneous tissue enabled primary closure of the donor site. The exposed median nerve and flexor tendons could be covered by well-vascularized tissue with, hopefully, less donor site morbidity. To investigate this, eight prelamination patients were compared to five patients in whom conventional fasciocutaneous distal radial forearm flaps were harvested. Follow-up was 6–25 months (mean 12.8 months). All patients with prelaminated forearm flaps revealed excellent functional and cosmetic results. Restricted hand function and a poor cosmetic result were found in 40% of the fasciocutaneous flap patients. Subjective cold intolerance could be objectified using thermography, but could not be confirmed, using rheography and photoplethysmography.
