[Total "pharyngoplastia vera" with the colon in caustic pharyngo-laryngeal stenoses].

An original procedure for pharyngeal reconstruction with colon in pharyngolaryngeal stenosis due to chemical burns has been named "pharyngoplasty vera" by the authors, since the 3 walls of the pharynx are reconstituted by lining it with visceral material. This is in contradiction with previously used techniques in which the graft caps the pharyngostomy produced by resection of scar tissue (pharyngovisceral anastomosis). The procedure generally respects the principles of conventional cutaneous pharyngoplasty--similar approach, extirpation of scar tissue, epiglotto plasty, conservation of constrictor muscles and above all, solid attachment of visceral material to the latter, and finally suture of the colon at the base of tongue and closure of pharynx. The method was used in a patient who regained deglutition rapidly, but the insufficient glottic space did not allow reopening of the canal.
