Novel approach of combined endoluminal and external vacuum therapy for wound healing disorders after salvage pharyngeal reconstruction
This case demonstrates the potential effectiveness of a combined endopharyngeal and external vacuum therapy approach for treating persistent pharyngocutaneous fistulas when conventional surgical options are exhausted. Notably, the patient was able to resume oral food consumption following therapy, highlighting the functional benefits of this novel treatment strategy.
