The technique developed by a team led by Professor Chen Hongjie at China Medical University Hospital involves transferring a segment of the patient’s intestine—known as a free ileocolon flap—to reconstruct the throat and swallowing passage. Nerves are connected to help produce and control the voice, followed by rehabilitation and ongoing monitoring. The team’s experience included 205 patients, and the tissue-transfer procedure succeeded in 97% of cases. All patients were able to swallow semi-liquid foods, while 78% achieved very good results with solid foods. Good voice function was recorded in 85% of patients, rising to 90% after advanced rehabilitation. Complications included leakage at the connection site in 5.4% of cases and instances of bowel obstruction. The surgery is not suitable for everyone; whether it is chosen depends on the tumor, the extent of tissue removal, the patient’s health, and assessment by a specialist team.
