Z Krajina

    The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
    |November 1, 1990
    PubMed
    Summary

    The study introduces "vertical partial laryngectomy on demand" for laryngeal cancer surgery, achieving an 81% five-year survival rate. This technique involves complete tumor removal and reconstruction using sternohyoid fascia, showing good resistance to complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Laryngeal Surgery

    Background:

    • Vertical laryngectomies encompass various surgical modifications for laryngeal cancer.
    • Standardization of terminology and reconstructive techniques is crucial for consistent outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a unified term, 'vertical partial laryngectomy on demand,' for different vertical laryngectomy techniques.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using sternohyoid fascia for laryngeal defect reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved 120 patients undergoing vertical partial laryngectomies.
    • Tumor removal was confirmed oncologically and histologically, with magnification or microscopy.
    • Reconstruction utilized sternohyoid fascia for vertical and frontolateral partial laryngectomies.

    Main Results:

    • An 81% five-year survival rate was achieved in the operated cases.
    • Sternohyoid fascia demonstrated resistance to post-operative complications.
    • The fascia also showed resilience against irradiation effects.

    Conclusions:

    • The term 'vertical partial laryngectomy on demand' effectively categorizes various vertical laryngectomy procedures.
    • Sternohyoid fascia is a reliable material for reconstructing laryngeal defects after vertical partial laryngectomy.
    • This approach offers a favorable survival rate and good tolerance to complications and adjuvant therapies.
