[Reconstruction of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa by a microsurgical method using a jejunal graft].

The microsurgery is a new, modern method of the reconstructive surgery which has made the free transplantation of the jejunal graft possible. The jejunum transplanted with microvascular anastomosis lends itself mainly to replacing the segmental and concentrical defect of the initial part of the alimentary tract, but the splitted jejunal graft cut along the antimesenterical side, because of its favourable biological nature, can be used for reconstruction of the oral and pharyngeal mucosus membrane. The authors applied the splitted jejunal graft in four cases for the reconstruction of oropharyngeal defects due to excision of malignant tumours. In harmony with literary data good result is reported on.
