Interdisciplinary defect reconstruction of upper aerodigestive fistulas-case series and treatment algorithm

CONCLUSION: Complex defects of the upper aerodigestive tract with multiple previous operations can be successfully reconstructed. Because of its versatility, the ALT flap seems to be a very good option. Prerequisite for this is an interdisciplinary treatment approach with a critical assessment of patient- and disease-specific factors.PMID:37707515 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01358-y
