الوصف: BackgroundReconstruction of a pharyngoesophageal defect remains a challenging problem, especially with involvement of the neck skin. This study aimed to demonstrate the surgical technique of utilising a butterfly modification of the anterolateral thigh flap.ResultsReconstruction of the pharyngoesophageal defect was accomplished using the butterfly modification of the anterolateral thigh free flap. The flap was tubed on the leg while still being attached to the pedicle, to minimise the ischaemia time.ConclusionButterfly anterolateral thigh free flap allows for multi-layer closure of the neopharynx and can be utilised for reconstruction of pharyngoesophageal and neck skin defects.
