Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Context:

  • Swallowing difficulties are common after supraglottic laryngectomy involving arytenoid resection.
  • Existing surgical methods often compromise laryngeal function and swallowing.
  • A new reconstructive approach is needed to improve outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical technique using a local flap for pharyngeal defect closure after supraglottic laryngectomy.
  • To assess the oncologic control and functional (swallowing) outcomes of this technique.

Summary:

  • A local flap technique was used to close pharyngeal defects without approximating laryngeal remnants and tongue base.
  • The procedure involves midline hyoid bone division and lateral retraction of strap muscles and thyroid cartilage perichondrium.

  • Sixty-eight patients with T1-T3 laryngeal margin tumors extending to the arytenoid underwent the procedure.

    • Impact:

    • The technique demonstrated good tumor control with low local (5%) and lymph node (8%) recurrence rates.
    • Functional success (swallowing) was achieved in 75% of patients despite post-operative radiotherapy.
    • This method offers a viable option for managing lateral laryngeal margin tumors with arytenoid involvement, balancing oncologic safety and functional recovery.
