    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  The study was performed to evaluate abdominal complications related to jejunal segment resection for reconstruction after radical oropharyngeal tumor resection. Perioperative complications of 104 patients (median age, 53.7 years; 23 female; 81 male) who underwent surgery for oropharyngeal malignancy after radiochemotherapy and the long-term morbidity of 35 patients after a median follow-up period of 21 months are analyzed. The perioperative mortality was 8.7% (9/104); none of the perioperative deaths was caused by an abdominal complication associated with the jejunal resection. In three cases, repeat laparotomy was performed within 30 days of jejunal autotransplantation: in two of them the reason was not directly associated with bowel resection and one patient had an abdominal wall dehiscence. In six cases there were minor abdominal complications which could be treated nonsurgically. There was no anastomotic leakage, bowel obstruction or postoperative bleeding. In the follow-up re-examination, no late onset abdominal complications were noted except small incisional hernias in six of the 35 patients; only one required a hernia repair. Despite a potentially increased operative risk in these patients, the complication rate after bowel resection for jejunal autotransplantation was low. This is a safe procedure in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma.
