Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Oropharyngeal cancers are biologically diverse, with varied risk factors and complex treatment pathways.
  • Maxillofacial oncosurgery requires extensive interdisciplinary collaboration for successful patient outcomes.
  • Tumor stage, patient age, and metastasis presence are critical factors in oropharyngeal cancer treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the significance of radical tumor resection in oropharyngeal cancer management.
  • To detail the reconstructive procedures employed for postoperative defects in oropharyngeal cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 23 patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma underwent radical tumor resection between 2008 and 2013.
  • Postoperative defects were reconstructed using distant and free flaps.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed predominantly squamous cell carcinomas.

Main Results:

  • Tumors were resected with adequate safety margins, resulting in no basic cancer recurrence.
  • 16 patients presented with advanced disease (Stage III-IV), while 7 had early-stage disease (Stage I-II).
  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with successful flap engraftment and good patient quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Appropriate patient selection is crucial to mitigate postoperative complications.
  • Radical resection in early disease stages correlates with reduced complications and enhanced survival.
  • Traditional reconstructive methods, including prostheses, remain highly effective in many cases.
