Preservation of laryngeal function and repair of hypopharyngeal surgery.doc

Preservation of laryngeal function and repair of hypopharyngeal surgery The purpose of the preservation of laryngeal function in hypopharyngeal resection were analyzed retrospectively. Methods from 1990 to 1994, 23 patients with preservation of laryngeal function in patients with hypopharyngeal resection results of operations, complications, survival, repair materials and methods of analysis. Results of 23 cases in the complication rate was 34.8% (8 / 23), 20 cases (87.0%) resumed full-featured throat, discharge all the 23 cases of oral feeding, swallowing the success rate of 100%. The mean oral intake time was 11.8 d (6 ~ 33 d), mean postoperative hospital stay 32 d (14 ~ 94 d), 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 73.9% (17/23) and 47.8% ( 11/23). Conclusions Hypopharyngeal and effective procedure can be a relatively satisfactory preservation of laryngeal function and improve quality of life of patients, the majority of hypopharyngeal cancer cases, is a more satisfactory approach. Laryngeal function preserving surgery in hypopharyngeal carcinoma Abstract Objective To investigate the results of the conservation laryngectomy in patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Twenty-three cases with hypopharyngeal carcinoma that were treated with function-sparing laryngectomy during a 15-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Results The 3-year survival rate was 73.9% (17/23) and 5-year survival rate was 47.8% (11/23). Severe complication occurred in 8 of 23 (34.8%). Complete restoration of laryngeal function was achieved in 20 cases (87%) and deglutition restored in all patients (100%). The mean duration of oral intake was 11.8 days (6 ~ 33 days) and mean hospitalization was 32 days (14 ~ 94 days). Conclusion Conservation laryngectomy and hypopharyngectomy is not only efficacious in the treatment of hypopharyngeal carcinomas, but also reserves laryngeal function and thus improves the quality of patients life.
