Abstract

The goal of this study was to compare the survival rate and functional outcome of an open partial horizontal laryngectomies, Type IIa and modified Type IIa (OPHL Type IIa and OPHL mType IIa), in treatment of moderately advanced glottic carcinoma. Retrospective analysis. 80 Patients underwent OPHL Type IIa and 27, OPHL modified Type IIa (OPHL mType IIa) between the years 2001 and 2009. Clinical staging was performed according to the UICC criteria (2002). Primary endpoints of study were recurrence rate, and 3- and 5-year survival time. Secondary endpoints were laryngeal functions: respiration, swallowing and voice. There were no significant differences within local and regional recurrence rates, organ preservation rate, 3- and 5-year specific disease survival rates between OPHL Type II and OPHL modified Type IIa. Significantly lower need for temporary (OPHL mType IIa 4/27, OPHL Type IIa 30/80) and permanent tracheostomy (OPHL mType IIa 2/27, OPHL Type IIa 16/80) was found. All but one patient (OPHL Type IIa) achieved unrestricted diet. Significantly differed social eating, this ability gained 25/27 OPHL mType IIa and 54/80 OPHL Type IIa ( p < 0.05). Voice handicap index revealed a decrease in quality of life in all areas; OPHL Type IIa and OPHL mType IIa differed significantly (31 and 46 points respectively, p < 0.005). The MPT value (longest pitch) for OPHL Type IIa and OPHL mType IIa lasted 8 s and 10, respectively ( p < 0.005). There was no significant difference in oncological outcomes between the two types of OPHL succeeded in the earlier extubation, thus significantly lowering the need for temporary and permanent tracheotomy and providing better long-term swallowing. Although the voice was altered in all observed OPHL patients, modified Type IIa technique proved to be superior to the Type IIa in terms of voice quality. Thus, OPHL modified Type IIa is worth promoting, as long as indications were strictly conformed.

Functional analysis of swallowing outcomes after supracricoid partial laryngectomy.

Monica Díez-Díaz, K Hutcheson, F. Christopher Holsinger … (2008)

In this study, we analyzed swallowing recovery after supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL). We retrospectively reviewed 27 patients treated with SCPL (September 1997 to March 2005). We evaluated recovery course, nutritional outcomes, and swallowing using objective analysis. Modified barium swallow (MBS) study results identified swallowing physiology and therapeutic effectiveness. Average length of hospitalization was 7.7+/-9.2 days; time to decannulation was 5.3+/-8.2 weeks. The most common complications included pneumonia and subcutaneous emphysema (26%). Twenty-two patients had MBS studies, in which initially, all patients aspirated due to neoglottic incompetency, and impaired base of tongue and laryngeal movements. Although aspiration rates did not change significantly over time, use of appropriately selected swallowing strategies effectively protected the airway (p= .0365). Ultimately, 81% of patients returned to complete oral intake with median tube removal at 9.4 weeks. SCPL produces severe dysphagia initially. Our findings suggest that objective swallowing assessment is important for return to oral nutrition after SCPL.

Supracricoid partial laryngectomy in the treatment of laryngeal cancer: univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.

M Simonelli, Andrea Gallo, Marco De Gobbi … (2005)

To evaluate the oncological results of supracricoid partial laryngectomy as a treatment for selected glottic and supraglottic cancer in a large series of patients who had undergone uniform treatment over a 16-year period and to determine the different prognostic factors that may influence local control and survival. Retrospective clinical study. Academic tertiary referral medical center. The study population comprised 253 consecutive patients (234 men and 19 women) with glottic and supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. The mean age was 58 years for men and 59.2 years for women. Supracricoid partial laryngectomy: 180 patients had undergone cricohyoidopexy and 73 had undergone cricohyoidoepiglottopexy. Local control and overall survival. Potential prognostic factors for local control and survival were evaluated with univariate and multivariate models. The 3-, 5-, 10-, and 16-year overall survival rates in this group of 253 patients were 85.8%, 79.1%, 57.6%, and 57.6%, respectively. With regard to local control, univariate and multivariate analyses showed that a positive resection margin was the only important predictor of local control and that a dysplastic lesion at the margin of resection is just as aggressive as the presence of invasive carcinoma. When considering the prognostic factors influencing survival, univariate analysis showed that the tumor category, lymph node category, tumor stage, and recurrence all had a significant influence on the survival rate. Multivariate analysis showed that the most important predictor of survival was recurrence. Supracricoid partial laryngectomy is a valid choice in the treatment of selected glottic and supraglottic cancer while maintaining laryngeal functions and achieving a high rate of local control. T category, N category, tumor stage, positive resection margins, and recurrence are the most important predictors of oncological outcome.

Supracricoid partial laryngectomy: analyses of oncologic and functional outcomes.

Hüseyin Katilmiş, Semih Oncel, Ercan Pinar … (2012)

The aim of this study was to analyze the functional and oncologic results of supracricoid partial laryngectomy. Case series with chart review. Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey. The medical records of 56 patients, who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy between March 2002 and December 2010, were reviewed in this study. Forty-three patients underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy with cricohyoidopexy, and 13 patients underwent cricohyoidoepiglottopexy. The overall and disease-specific survival, local control rates, and the mean time of decannulation and nasogastric tube removal were evaluated. Association of type of surgery with the functional and oncologic outcomes was evaluated and statistically compared. The median follow-up period was 58 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 100%, 96.4%, and 82.1%, respectively. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year local control rates were 100%, 96.1%, and 92.5%, respectively. Type of surgery did not show any significant difference in survival and local control rates (P = .546, P = .455). The mean (SD) decannulation and nasogastric feeding tube removal time was 11.43 (2.03) and 16.79 (3.51) days, respectively. The mean time of decannulation and nasogastric tube removal was significantly longer in patients who underwent cricohyoidopexy when compared with those who underwent cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (P = .002, P = .000). Although delaying deglutition functions could be termed a disadvantage of supracricoid laryngectomy, especially with cricohyoidopexy, supracricoid laryngectomy has reliable oncologic and functional results for locally advanced laryngeal cancers while maintaining laryngeal functions.
