| Abstract | Pharyngocutaneous fistula is one of the fatal complications occurring after head and neck reconstruction with neck node dissection. Even minor salivary leakage from the fistula could cause serious infection and threaten the viability of the transferred flap or even lead to the rupture of jugular vein. In such cases, proper management is difficult, and the chances for recurrence rise. We used a collagen patch (TachoComb) for fistula prevention and treatment. TachoComb, a collagen patch integrated with activated thrombin and fibrinogen, was used to prevent postoperative fistula formation in the initial reconstruction by applying them on sites with a high risk of salivary leakage. The patch was applied to 16 patients who had hypopharyngeal reconstruction, and the results were evaluated and compared with patients who had reconstruction without a collagen patch. A fistula occurred in 1 (6%) of 16 patients who received the collagen patch, whereas it occurred in 6 (14%) of 43 patients who underwent reconstruction without the collagen patch. In addition, the collagen patch was also used to treat postoperative fistula in 2 patients, and the results were successful after a single revision. Our results suggest that the collagen patch can be effective in the prevention and treatment of postoperative fistula after head and neck reconstruction, especially pharynx and cervical esophagus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
