Abstract

Background

Metachronous tumour in head and neck cancer patients is a frequent situation with a generally poor prognosis, often improving in case of surgical treatment.

Method

This article presents the surgical technique for early stage hypopharyngeal metachronous tumour resection and pharyngeal reconstruction by tubed free flap in laryngectomised patient.

Conclusion

Selected laryngectomised patients presenting with early stage hypopharyngeal metachronous tumours can benefit from a safe carcinologic resection and reconstruction.
