This report aimed to present our experience on vascular pedicle division at the secondary procedure of free flap re\u2010inset for functional improvement in pharyngoesophageal reconstruction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight male and seven female patients, with a mean age of 52\u2009years old (range: 28\u201378\u2009years), underwent pharyngoesophageal stricture (n = 7) and hypopharynx carcinoma reconstruction (n = 8) with three free jejunal and 12 free ileocolonic flaps. During revision procedure to shorten the flap for functional improvement, which was performed at 3 months after the initial operation, there were 11 venous and 4 arterial pedicle division cases. The intestinal flap circulation signs, such as presence of normoperistalsis, pink color, moderate secretion, and bleeding at puncture site, were observed for 1 hr.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No venous pedicle divisions required reanastomosis. However, all arterial pedicle division cases required immediate restoration with a vein graft because of immediate intestinal changes. No postoperative complications were seen, excluding a patient with anterior wall reconstruction who had arterial division and reanastomosis. Patients were followed up for a median duration of 28\u2009months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>For revision operations involving free intestinal flaps, the arterial pedicle must be protected or repaired if transected, whereas the venous pedicle does not necessitate such a maneuver.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.30469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]],"date-time":"2019-05-14T09:10:08Z","timestamp":1557825008000},"page":"154-159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Vascular pedicle division during free flap re\u2010inset in pharyngoesophageal reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5788-0705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Emre","family":"Yegin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital  Elazig Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shih\u2010Heng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Chang\u2010Gung Memorial Hospital  Taoyuan Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hung\u2010Chi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery China Medical University Hospital  Taichung Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2011.11.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(01)03015-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2013.03.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198704000-00016"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.1920120104"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2009.10.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0007-1226(94)90099-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198711000-00029"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2006.01.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199412000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2002-35095"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/2000656X.2017.1319848"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199403000-00015"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.30082"}],"container-title":["Microsurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/micr.30469","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/micr.30469","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/micr.30469","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,7]],"date-time":"2023-09-07T02:04:46Z","timestamp":1694052286000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/micr.30469"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/micr.30469"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/micr.30469","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0738-1085","1098-2752"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0738-1085"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1098-2752"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2018-10-06","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-04-26","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-05-14","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
