Abstract
A prospective study concerning the tonometric viability supervision of 9 digestive free autografts after total pharyngolaryngectomy was cond ucted. This technic is based on the Henderson and Hasselbalch's equati on wich calculates the intramucosal pH (pHi) in the graft using a tono metric catheter. When the pHi is under 7.10, there is a graft ischemia . This invasive technique seems to be sensitive and specific provided that minimally rigorous measurement procedures ai-e used. Late graft n ecrosis is the major limitation of the technique.
