Partial horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy. A method of reconstruction

N Silva, J M Lore

    The Laryngoscope
    |July 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces a novel reconstruction technique for partial supraglottic laryngectomy to prevent aspiration pneumonia. The method uses a pedicle flap to improve swallowing function and preserve laryngeal functions.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Early laryngeal lesions require timely intervention to preserve laryngeal function.
    • Partial supraglottic laryngectomy (PSL) is indicated for specific early laryngeal cancers.
    • A significant challenge post-PSL is aspiration pneumonitis, impacting patient quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new reconstructive method following PSL.
    • To address and obviate the problem of aspiration pneumonitis.
    • To improve functional outcomes and patient quality of life after PSL.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel reconstruction technique utilizing a pedicle flap is described.
    • The flap is used to line the transected base of the tongue.
    • This aims to reposition the tongue base for improved glottic closure during deglutition.

    Main Results:

    • The described method effectively prevents aspiration by repositioning the tongue base.
    • The tongue base flap aids in occluding the glottis during swallowing.
    • Food is effectively guided into the esophagus along the posterior pharyngeal wall.

    Conclusions:

    • The described pedicle flap reconstruction is a viable solution for preventing aspiration post-PSL.
    • This technique can significantly improve swallowing function and reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonitis.
    • It offers a method to restore patients to a better preoperative pattern of life after laryngeal surgery.
