Summary

Preventive surgical measures significantly reduced stomal recurrence (SR) in laryngectomized patients. Implementing these strategies, particularly for high-risk cases like subglottic extension, eliminated SR post-1989.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Cancer Research

Background:

  • Stomal recurrence (SR) is a potential complication following laryngectomy for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.
  • Identifying risk factors and effective preventive strategies for SR is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence of stomal recurrence (SR) in laryngectomized patients.
  • To identify associated risk factors for SR.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of preventive surgical procedures for SR.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 296 patients treated with total laryngectomy for larynx and hypopharynx carcinoma.
  • Data on stomal recurrence, risk factors, and implemented preventive measures were reviewed.

Main Results:

  • Six patients (2%) presented with initial stomal recurrence, all linked to risk factors: subglottic extension (5) or prior tracheotomy (1).
  • Following the systematic introduction of preventive measures in 1989 for high-risk patients, no further cases of SR were observed.
  • Preventive surgical interventions included hemithyroidectomies, paratracheal lymph node dissection, extensive tracheal resection for subglottic extension, and tracheal stoma resection for prior tracheotomy.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic implementation of preventive surgical measures, combined with postoperative radiotherapy, effectively decreased the incidence of stomal recurrence.
  • Proactive surgical management targeting specific risk factors like subglottic extension and prior tracheotomy is vital in preventing SR after laryngectomy.
