Tubed Anterolateral Thigh Free Flap for Pharyngoesophageal Reconstruction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Caustic ingestions can severely injure the upper and lower aerodigestive tract, resulting in detrimental mucosal changes both acutely and chronically. Injuries are most severe following alkaline ingestion. Esophagectomy is often recommended in patients with high-grade esophageal injuries to mitigate the risk of perforation. Esophageal reconstruction after these injuries is often delayed, and staged, allowing adequate tissue stabilization before further manipulation. Here, we report on a 25 year-old woman who presented with a high-grade caustic esophageal injury following the ingestion of an alkaline drain cleaner. She underwent an emergent thoracic esophagectomy, gastrectomy and a cervical salivary esophagostomy. Post-operatively, she developed supraglottic and hypopharyngeal strictures, but maintained a functional larynx. She subsequently underwent a staged, extrathoracic total esophageal reconstruction using an anterolateral thigh (ALT) myocutaneous free flap with laryngeal preservation. Although serial esophageal dilatations and trans-oral laser procedures for pharyngeal strictures were required, she was able to maintain the ability to swallow.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
