Non\u2010dilatable cricopharyngeal strictures need surgical intervention. We report the use of the sternocleidomastoid muscle myocutaneous inlay flap (SCMMIF) for reconstruction of the cervical esophagus in patients with corrosive strictures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A SCMMIF was used in four patients with cricopharyngeal strictures. The surgical technique is described. All patients had complete dilatation of the stenosed cricopharyngeal segment as seen on postoperative endoscopy and contrast studies. One patient was managed successfully for a short midesophageal stricture by serial endoscopic dilatations. Another patient underwent an esophagocoloplasty subsequently for bypass of the long distal esophageal stricture The last two patients await esophagocoloplasty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first report on the use of sternocleidomastoid muscle myocutaneous inlay flap for corrosive cricopharyngeal strictures. The flap is simple to construct, is effective and can be performed in a short time, and yields good cosmetic results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,5]],"date-time":"2007-06-05T20:29:50Z","timestamp":1181075390000},"page":"1592-1596","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Sternocleidomastoid Muscle Myocutaneous Flap for Corrosive Pharyngoesophageal Strictures"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Ananthakrishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research Pondicherry India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Parthasarathy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research Pondicherry India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nanda Kishore","family":"Maroju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research Pondicherry India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikram","family":"Kate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research Pondicherry India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_4_2_2","first-page":"202","article-title":"Island pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for pharyngo\u2010oesophageal strictures prior to oesphagocoloplasty","volume":"46","author":"Ananthakrishnan N","year":"2001","journal-title":"J R Coll Surg Edinb"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_3_2","first-page":"485","volume-title":"Grabb\u2019s Encyclopedia of Flaps, 2nd Edition (Illustrated)","author":"Ariyan S","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003\u20104975(92)91439\u2010G"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100\u2010879X2004001100005"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_6_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"Plastic surgery of the pharynx and cervical oesophagus using a revascularised intestinal segment in children","volume":"4","author":"Sakov IUF","year":"1995","journal-title":"Khirurgiia"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199207000-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_8_2","first-page":"371","article-title":"Circular myotomy for oesophageal stricture","volume":"23","author":"Izzidien AI","year":"1998","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg"}],"container-title":["World Journal of Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T11:09:37Z","timestamp":1704712177000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,6]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00268-007-9120-5","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0364-2313","1432-2323"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0364-2313","type":"print"},{"value":"1432-2323","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,6]]}}}
