Suprahyoid pharyngotomy offers a precise and rapid surgical approach for removing laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors. This technique utilizes the hyoepiglottic ligament for accurate pharyngeal entry, aiding in tumor excision.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Laryngeal and pharyngeal neoplasms require effective surgical excision techniques.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are sought to improve surgical outcomes and reduce morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate the suprahyoid pharyngotomy technique for the excision of selected laryngeal and pharyngeal neoplasms.
  • To highlight the anatomical landmarks facilitating precise surgical access.

Main Methods:

  • The suprahyoid pharyngotomy approach was utilized for surgical tumor removal.
  • Identification and navigation along the hyoepiglottic ligament were key procedural steps.
  • Entry into the pharynx was targeted at the median glossoepiglottic fold.

Main Results:

  • The suprahyoid pharyngotomy technique proved highly useful for excising specific laryngeal and pharyngeal neoplasms.
  • Precise and rapid entry into the pharynx was consistently achieved.
  • The hyoepiglottic ligament served as a reliable landmark for surgical access.

Conclusions:

  • Suprahyoid pharyngotomy is an effective and efficient surgical method for selected laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors.
  • The technique offers reliable and accurate access to the pharynx via the median glossoepiglottic fold.
