Eleven patients with advanced tumors of eso-pharyngeal area were treated by circular eso-pharyngo-laryngectomy with repair of pharyngo-esophageal continuity by deltopectoral flap (V. Y. Bakamjian). Surgical procedures are described and results presented. Advantages and failures, compared with others techniques, have allowed us to recommend the use of deltopectoral flap, especially when the tumor remains located in hypopharyngeal region and doesn't exceed one cm below the eso-pharyngeal ring.
