Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Recurrent glottic carcinoma after radiotherapy presents a significant treatment challenge.
  • Salvage options for these patients are limited, often necessitating total laryngectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of partial vertical hemilaryngectomy as a salvage procedure for recurrent glottic carcinoma post-radiotherapy.
  • To assess local recurrence rates, survival outcomes, and postoperative complications.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 61 patients who underwent partial vertical hemilaryngectomy for recurrent glottic carcinoma.
  • Patients were selected based on stringent criteria.
  • Follow-up averaged 79 months.

Main Results:

  • At 5 years, 85% of patients achieved local recurrence-free survival.
  • The actuarial overall survival rate was 88% at 5 years.
  • Postoperative complications occurred in 20% of patients, primarily airway issues, with most successfully managed.

Conclusions:

  • Partial vertical hemilaryngectomy is a safe and effective oncologic procedure for managing irradiation failures in glottic carcinoma.
  • The surgery provides good local control and survival outcomes with acceptable morbidity.
  • It represents a viable alternative to total laryngectomy in selected patients.
