Pharyngostomy

Pharyngostomy is a surgical operation in which a permanent anastomosis is created on the front surface of the neck between the pharynx and the external environment.

Indications for pharyngostomy:

1. tumors of the pharynx that interfere with normal breathing and swallowing
2. cicatricial stenosis of the pharynx
3. injuries of the pharynx and larynx
4. congenital malformations of the pharynx and larynx

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. A skin incision is made on the front of the neck. From the preparation of the walls of the pharynx, an anastomosis with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm is formed. The edges of the pharyngostomy are sutured to the skin.

After the operation, you can breathe through the pharyngostomy and cough up sputum. Taking food and water by mouth is possible. Caring for a pharyngostomy is simple.

Thus, pharyngostomy allows you to restore the patency of the airways and facilitates patient care.

A pharyngostomy is a wound surface or ulcer on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx. It can occur as a complication in the postoperative period, the result of trauma to the oral cavity or cancer. Conservative and surgical treatment methods can help cure pharyngocoma, but the final decision is made by the attending physician.

A pharyngostoma is formed as a result of the eruption of a tooth root, in this case the soft palate and the mucous membrane of the oropharyngeal cavity are injured. To relieve pain and speed up the healing of the hole, you first need to rinse the cavity with an antiseptic solution or spray. In order not to aggravate the situation, you should not try to pull out the tooth yourself,
