Complications in surgery for stomal recurrences.

E M Myers

    The Laryngoscope
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Stomal recurrences, a complication of total laryngectomy, occur in 8.3% of patients. Mediastinal dissection is the advocated surgical treatment, with the pectoralis myocutaneous flap reducing associated risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Stomal recurrences are diffuse epidermoid carcinomas developing at the tracheostoma.
    • These recurrences are observed in 8.3% of patients following total laryngectomy.
    • While prophylactic measures can prevent most cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the surgical technique for mediastinal dissection in managing stomal recurrences.
    • To analyze and categorize potential complications associated with mediastinal dissection.
    • To emphasize the synergistic and potentially fatal nature of combined complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the mediastinal dissection procedure for stomal recurrence.
    • Utilization of the pectoralis myocutaneous flap to mitigate surgical morbidity and mortality.
    • Categorization and analysis of complications encountered during mediastinal dissection.

    Main Results:

    • The pectoralis myocutaneous flap has significantly reduced morbidity and mortality.
    • Complications of mediastinal dissection, though individually formidable, can collectively be overwhelming and synergistic.
    • The study highlights the critical need for vigilance due to the complex interplay of complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Mediastinal dissection is the recommended surgical approach for stomal recurrences.
    • The use of pectoralis myocutaneous flaps improves surgical outcomes.
    • Surgeons must maintain "eternal vigilance" due to the synergistic and potentially fatal nature of complications in mediastinal dissection for stomal recurrence.
