Regional skin flaps in partial laryngectomy.

J Conley

    The Laryngoscope
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Regional neck flaps enable extended glottis surgeries, including vocal cord resection. This technique offers an 85% cure rate for glottic cancer, though it impacts voice quality, resulting in a softer, lower-pitched voice with limited range.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Advanced glottic cancer often requires extensive surgical resection.
    • Reconstructive techniques are crucial for functional outcomes after glottic surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of regional neck flaps in glottic cancer rehabilitation.
    • To assess the extent of resection and functional voice outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized regional neck flaps for reconstruction following glottic resection.
    • Described a one- or two-stage surgical technique.
    • Included resection of vocal cords, ventricular bands, arytenoid, and subglottic regions.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an 85% cure rate for glottic cancer.
    • Resultant voice characterized by low pitch, reduced loudness, and limited vocal range.
    • Regional flaps facilitated extended surgical options for glottic tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Regional neck flaps are effective for glottic cancer rehabilitation, enabling more extensive resections.
    • While achieving high cure rates, the technique impacts voice quality, necessitating patient counseling.
    • Further research may explore methods to improve voice outcomes post-reconstruction.
