13.5 Flap Raise/Elevation: AStep-by-Step Guide
• For open approach, the vertical laparotomy incision
allows access to the abdominal cavity through the linea alba (Fig.13.1a, blue marking; Fig.13.1b, black vertical laparotomy marking). The laparotomy incision requires to be slightly longer in obese patients to allow ease to access the bowel, and most times it requires infraumbili­cal extension.
• Exploration of the small bowel and identication of the
proximal origin at the mesentery where the ligament of Treitz is located. The origin of the segmental pedicles and their orientation at a distance greater than 30cm from the ligament of Treitz is located and carefully examined extracorporeally (Fig. 13.2). The maximum segment of the jejunum could be up to 25–30cm depending on the pedicle blood supply and the reconstructive defect.
• The segmental pedicle of choice along with the arcades
branching toward the vasa recti is carefully chosen to match the defect length. The mesentery circular sector is marked along with the jejunum transection margins.
• The pedicle of interest from the segmental origin toward
the arcades that supply the jejunum segment is separated
from the remaining vascular branches via the loop­ligation hand tie technique. The authors prefer not to use any modern energy-based tools (i.e., harmonic scalpel) for these ligations to minimize collateral heat damage (Figs.13.3 and 13.4).
• When the jejunum sector wedge’s blood supply is islanded on the chosen segmental artery pedicle, the bowel has to be prepared for resection. Two bowel clamps are used to isolate the jejunum segment after gentle push over of any bowel content proximal and distal to the chosen jejunum ap. Anastomotic linear stapling devices can be used; however, care should be invested in identifying a small gap between two consecutive vasa recti, to allow best pos­sible jejunum ap edge perfusion. The authors prefer sharp bowel transection with blade which would be fol­lowed by a manual double layer Vicryl suture bowel anas­tomosis to reconstruct small bowel continuity (Fig.13.5).
• The jejunum ap is only transected when the recipient vessels are fully prepared and ready for microvascular anastomoses to minimize ischemic time. Careful and ideal transxion suture ligation of the segmental artery on the donor site is performed to avoid catastrophic hemor­rhage. The free jejunum ap is then washed carefully and transferred to the defect site (Figs.13.6 and 13.7).

• For hypopharyngeal and esophageal defects, a nasogas­tric feeding tube is inserted to allow easy identication of the neo-pharyngeal lumen and enable easier jejunum bowel anastomosis (Fig.13.8).
Fig. 13.6 The free jejunum ap is then washed carefully
• The microvascular anastomoses are performed under the microscope (i.e., superior thyroid, internal mammary or transverse cervical arteries). The jejunum inset and posi­tion should not cause any tension to the microvascular pedicle, and ideally a full-thickness fasciocutaneous skin ap deep to deep subcutaneous fascia should be able to cover the microvascular anastomosis for protection (Fig.13.9a, b). Jejunum ap requires primary skin closure to allow wound healing; however, the authors have previ­ously used split thickness skin grafting on the anti­mesenteric border of the bowel in extremely complex cases.

13.6 Core Surgical Techniques inFlap Dissection
• During careful examination of the mesentery; the transil-
lumination is a very helpful way to allow clear visualiza­tion of vascular pedicles especially when there is a larger amount of fat between the double layers of the mesentery.

• It is very useful for hypopharyngeal and esophageal reconstruction while marking the length of the jejunum to add few centimeters of excess length to allow trimming and provide healthy viable edges prior to neo-pharyngeal anastomosis.
• A satellite segmental pedicle branch could be separated from the jejunum ap to supply a small segment of jeju­num <5cm in length to enable externalization during skin inset for ap monitoring.
• During arcades and mesenteric branching, ligation– extra care and meticulous hemostasis– can prevent postopera­tive intra-abdominal bleeds. The author-preferred ligation technique is via Vicryl 2/0 or 3/0 double loop ligations and for larger branches Vicryl transxion sutures. Energy­based vessel ligation is recommended to be avoided.
• When the amount of mesentery fat is profuse, bi-digital gentle pressure of the double layer of mesentery perito­neum allows thinning of the fat tissue at the mesenteric transection wedge lines and also enables easier ligation of the arcade branches.
• Split jejunum ap modication: The jejunum tube is sharply divided to allow a split sero-mucosa at design. This could be performed during inset while evaluating the exact patch pharyngoesophageal defect measurements; however, careful calculations are required to allow enough jejunum length.
• The jejunum segmental vessel pedicle is short. There is a limited arc of rotation or transposition of the jejunum dur­ing inset, and therefore this should be taken into consider­ation during ap length markings. The authors suggest that the recipient vessels are in the very immediate area of the esophageal defect and ideally in the middle of its length for tension-free ap inset.
• The authors choose to perform the proximal bowel anas­tomosis rst before the microvascular anastomoses; how­ever, this should not compromise the survival of ap due to extended ischemia time. Immediate after the microvas­cular anastomosis, the jejunum ap should be allowed to be perfused for few minutes, which would demonstrate an elongating effect. Only then the distal bowel anastomosis can be performed.
lon free ap reconstruction, due to the risk for future devel­opment of colon cancer in the reconstructed neck. The defect of the pharynx, cervical esophagus, and upper part of the trachea with loss of the larynx is demonstrated in Fig.13.10. The segment of the free jejunum ap is demonstrated during ap dissection, and the chosen pedicle is conrmed with transillumination (Fig. 13.11). The jejunum free ap of equivalent length was transferred to reconstruct the esopha­geal defect (15cm) (Fig.13.12). Figure13.13 demonstrates the postoperative esophagogram with smooth passage of the contrast medium from the mouth through the jejunum ap toward thoracic esophagus.

Case 2: Free Ileocolon Flap for Total Laryngopharyngeal Reconstruction
A 55-year-old male patient with hypopharyngeal cancer had a previous tracheostomy due to difculty in breath­ing due to progressive airway obstruction. Total laryngo­pharyngectomy, bilateral lymph node dissection with postoperative radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were the management of choice (Fig.13.14). Figure13.15 demon­strated the expected pharyngeal defect, cervical esophagus, as well as laryngeal defect. An ileocolon free ap recon­struction was designed for total larynx and pharynx recon­struction (Fig. 13.16). The ileocolon free ap was after dissection, demonstrating a segment of ascending colon, along with the cecum and the ileocolic valve, that would allow simultaneous reconstruction of the pharynx and cer­vical esophagus. The segment of the ileum with ileocecal valve can be optimized to provide functional reconstruction of voice (Fig.13.17). At immediate postoperative period, a swallowing function test showed continence of the swal­lowing tube, in the shape of the terminal ileum and colon ap (Fig.13.18).

Case 3: Free Ileum Flap for Urethral Reconstruction
A 34-year-old male patient had severe hypospadias. He underwent several previous operations utilizing local scrotal skin; however, he still had urethral stricture and was suffer­ing several episodes of urinary infections and difculty in voiding. Figure13.19 shows a lateral view with a contracture of ventral side skin of the penis. Figure13.20 demonstrates intraoperative dissection and resection of the contracture which was removed leaving a 7cm urethral defect. A seg­ment of free ileum ap was transferred for reconstruction of the urethra. A smooth passage of urine after surgery is dem­onstrated with the patient in standing position (Fig.13.21).

13.8 Pearls andPitfalls
Pearls
• The jejunum segment should be made ideally at a distance 30 cm distal from the ligament of Treitz but should also be distal enough to allow accessible pedicle length and mesentery along with the ade­quate length of the jejunum ap to cover the defect.
• The choice of the segmental artery should be placed after careful examination of the anastomotic arcades. This would dictate the exact jejunum seg­ment with the most robust mesenteric vascular sup­ply, especially at its edges where healing of the bowel anastomosis will take place.
• A marking suture should be placed at the peristaltic direction of motion during harvesting to ensure appropriate inset for the neo-esophagus.
• The jejunum anastomosis is preferred to be per­formed with a two-layer suture closure, and if an anastomotic staple is used, an extra overlay sero­muscular Vicryl mattress suture layer should be performed to reduce leaks.
• The jejunum serves as an excellent tubular struc­ture option for reconstruction of vaginal defects; it offers a self-lubricated tube with peristalsis and has benets over fasciocutaneous aps for vaginal reconstructions.

Pitfalls
• The vasa recta, the distal branches of the arcade pedi­cles of the jejunum ap, are approximately 5cm in length and enter the mesenteric border of the jejunum to supply a zone of approximately 1cm of bowel– forming the vasa recti unit. This is paramount in ap manipulation as these vessels are very delicate, espe­cially the veins. Care should be considered during harvesting and while deciding the level of jejunum transection to allow optimal edge perfusion.
• Surgical ow and ap harvest are simple and quick but should be performed with extra care in every step. All recipient vessels must be prepared before the ap is disconnected to avoid troublesome delay in microvascular anastomosis.
• The most difcult bowel anastomosis in the defect should be performed rst, prior to microvascular anastomosis, and this should be quick to reduce ischemia time.
• The jejunum does not tolerate venous congestion as other fasciocutaneous aps do; therefore, extra care should be put into optima microvascular suture line for the venous anastomosis. The authors prefer to complete the venous anastomosis rst. If the arte­rial anastomosis has been performed rst, the clamp should not be removed while performing the venous anastomosis as this will cause intra-ap congestion.
• Strictures and stenosis are recognized complica­tions of neo-pharyngeal reconstruction with jeju­num ap, especially in the inferior anastomotic line. Spatulating the jejunum lower edge allows larger circumference and lowers the risk for constriction during healing. Similarly, a double-barrel jejunum superior conguration may allow larger opening in the oropharyngeal anastomosis. Always aim for watertight closure.

2015.
This article portrays the authors’ critical appraisal on free jejunal transfer for pharyngoesophageal reconstruc­tion and the associated donor site morbidity. Conversely, they discuss on the argument that support the use of fas­ciocutaneous aps, given their low incidence of donor site complications. This study documented donor site complication rate with free jejunal aps for pharyngo­esophageal reconstruction, in the hands of an experi­enced surgeon. They concluded that free jejunal transfer is associated with minimal and acceptable donor site complication rates. The choice of ap for pharyngoesoph­ageal reconstruction should be determined by the type of defect, potential recipient site complications, and the sur­geon’s familiarity with the ap. Potential donor site complications should not be a deterrent for free jejunal aps given the low rate described in this study.

In this study the free colon and jejunal aps are described as reliable and safe conduits for pharyngo­esophageal reconstruction. According to the authors, compared with free colon aps, free jejunum aps have a smaller diameter and intrinsic peristaltic movement, both of which are considered possible causes of dysphagia. The authors evaluated the motility differences in free jeju­num and colon aps using radionuclide esophageal scin­tigraphy. Although neither ap showed normal swallowing characteristics, free jejunum aps displayed greater esophageal clearance and should represent the rst choice in hypopharyngeal reconstruction. Free colon and ileocolon aps should be reserved for very proximal oro­pharyngeal defects and when simultaneous voice recon­struction is desired.

They also report a treatment algorithm for microvascular hypopharyngeal reconstruction based on the type of defect with partial defects with radial forearm aps, circumferential defects reconstructed with free jejunal aps, and extensive, multi­level defects reconstructed with rectus abdominis myocu­taneous aps. This article concludes that microvascular reconstruction of pharyngeal defects is highly successful with few postoperative complications.

The authors reviewed methods of voice reconstruc­tion. Nonsurgical methods of voice reconstruction include electrolarynx, pneumatic articial larynx, and esophageal speech. Surgical methods of voice reconstruction include
neoglottis, tracheoesophageal puncture, and prosthesis. Tracheoesophageal puncture can be performed in patients with pedicled aps such as colon interposition, jejunum, or gastric pull-up or in free aps such as the perforator aps, jejunum, and colon aps. Other aps for voice recon­struction include the ileocolon ap and jejunum. Laryngeal transplantation was also reviewed and discussed.

14.1 Introduction
The latissimus dorsi (LD) is a muscle name originated from Latin (latus=broad, dorsum=back) which means the “broad­est muscle of the back” [1]. One of the rst descriptions for LD use as a ap was apparent from drawings by anatomist and physician Vesalius (sixteenth century) who demonstrated the muscle division from origin and lateral rotation [2]. The LD ap was rst reported as a pedicled ap (axial pattern) for a mastectomy defect by Tansini in 1906 [3]. Then, the clinical application was sporadic until Olivari in 1976 used LD for chest wall defects post-radiation exposure [4]. A year later in 1977, Schneider elaborated the concept to use LD ap with an implant-based breast reconstruction following radical mastec­tomy, which helped replace breast tissue and restore shape [5]. The year 1978 witnessed a number of advancements in LD ap reconstruction. Bostwick developed the principle for an island­based LD ap in breast reconstruction [6]. The versatile nature of the LD ap marked its use as a pedicled ap in head and neck reconstruction by Quillen. This was a rotational island ap tunnelled above pectoralis major muscle to reconstruct the lateral neck and cheek defects from resection of a mandibular defect [7]. Maxwell was the rst who used the LD muscle as a free ap for scalp reconstruction [8]. A year later in 1979, May reported the use of free LD aps in lower limb reconstruction

[9]. In 1982, one of the rst free LD reported cases in upper limb for hand reconstruction was performed by Bailey [10]. The further renement of microsurgical concepts led to the expansion and diverse use of LD aps over the past 40years.
14.2 Anatomy
The latissimus dorsi is the most supercial and largest muscle of the posterior trunk [1]. The superomedial part is covered by trapezius muscle, and LD muscle covers part of the paraspinal and majority of serratus anterior muscle [11]. The origin is from the lower six thoracic vertebrae, tenth to 12th posterior ribs, superior angle of scapula, lower sacral vertebrae, thoraco­lumbar fascia and posterior iliac crest forming the roof of the superior lumbar triangle [12, 13]. The bres span as a triangu­lar and at muscle to become a broad tendon [11]. The muscle has an aponeurotic attachment to the lower border of the ser­ratus anterior and meets the teres major superiorly forming the posterior axillary fold before inserting into the lesser tubercle and the intertubercular groove of the humerus [13].
According to the Mathes and Nahai classication, the LD
is a type V muscle with a dominant artery (thoracodorsal (TD)) and secondary segmental vessels from lumbar (medial paraspinal) and posterior intercostal (lateral) perforators [14]. The thoracodorsal artery is a branch of the subscapular artery forming a pedicle to enter the LD muscle 8–12 cm proximal to the humeral insertion. The neurovascular bundle is on the deep surface of LD muscle found 4cm distal to infe­rior border of the scapula and 2.5cm lateral to medial border of LD muscle [15]. At this point, the pedicle then divides into two branches (medial and lateral) parallel to the superior and anterior edge of the LD muscle. This concept forms the basis of splitting the LD muscle. Within the muscle, these branches divide into smaller ones which anastomose with lumbar and intercostal perforators [12, 14, 16]. The pedicle length is 8cm on average (range 6–12cm) and has a mean diameter of 3 mm (range 2–4 mm). The venous drainage
