[Advances in prevention of pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy]
Abstract:
Summary Total laryngectomy is a common method for the treatment of malignant tumors of the pharynx and larynx in China, but pharyngocutaneous fistula often happens after surgery, which burdens patients and affects postoperative recovery. At present, there are many measures to prevent pharyngocutaneous fistula, including strengthening nutrition pre-operative and post-operative, testing related indicators, controlling comorbidities, rational use of drugs, regular oral care, optimal selection of incision closure, and using of flaps and special materials during operation, etc. However, the choice of specific program needs to take care of the patient's condition, surgeon's skills and hospital conditions, and often requires multiple programs to be used together throughout the perioperative period. This article will provide a brief review of some strategies for preventing pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
