A two-staged approach for head and neck cancer (HNC) reconstruction using artificial tissue substitutes is feasible. This method offers comparable outcomes to immediate reconstruction, addressing operating hour constraints.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Immediate free tissue transfer is standard for head and neck cancer (HNC) reconstruction.
  • Long operating hours pose challenges due to regulatory constraints.
  • Alternative reconstructive strategies are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of a two-staged reconstructive approach for HNC.
  • To compare outcomes of delayed reconstruction with artificial tissue substitutes versus immediate reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study comparing immediate and delayed reconstruction in 33 HNC patients.
  • Delayed reconstruction involved temporary coverage with an artificial tissue substitute followed by microvascular reconstruction.

  • Data collected on anesthesia time, hospital stay, morbidity, functional outcome, and survival.

    • Main Results:

    • Delayed reconstruction involved longer total anesthesia time (1011 vs. 714 min) and hospital stay (34 vs. 25 days).
    • Perioperative morbidity, functional outcomes, and 5-year survival rates were comparable between immediate and delayed reconstruction groups.
    • The two-staged approach was found to be feasible.

    Conclusions:

    • A two-staged reconstructive approach using artificial tissue substitutes is a feasible option for HNC.
    • This method yields comparable perioperative morbidity, functional outcomes, and overall survival to immediate reconstruction.
    • The delayed approach can help manage operating hour constraints in HNC surgery.
