Although various methods and flaps have been reported for the reconstruction of wide defects of the lateral oropharyngeal wall, there is no global standard. We devised a new reconstructive technique after wide excision of an oropharyngeal lateral wall. A long jejunum with a mesentery was gathered. The chorion side of the jejunum was filled up with sufficient mesentery after having formed a jejunum in the shape of a dome. We reconstructed the lateral wall so that the jejunum projected in the oropharyngeal cavity. The resulting swallowing function in patients whose oropharynx were reconstructed with this technique was exellent. We suggest that this method be the treatment of choice for reconstruction of extensive defects of the oropharyngeal lateral wall.
