Abstract
Objective: To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes between stapler and manual closure in patients undergoing total laryngectomy for advanced endolaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: Patients with advanced endolaryngeal tumours operated between July 2017 and July 2023 were retrospectively dichotomised into stapler closure and manual closure cohorts and compared.
Results: Seventy-one patients with a median age of 57 years were included in our study. The median surgical duration was 270 minutes for the manual closure cohort and 245 minutes for the stapler closure cohort. The pharyngo-cutaneous salivary fistula rate was 6 per cent less in the stapler closure cohort. The estimated mean survival was not significantly different 54.5 months (95 per cent, confidence interval 46.3-62.71) in the manual closure cohort versus 28.12 months (95 per cent, confidence interval 23.6-32.63) in the stapler closure cohort (p = 0.79).
Conclusion: Stapler closure can be used in endolaryngeal tumours, and it reduces operating time, thus facilitating efficient utilisation of operation time with non-inferior oncological outcomes as compared to traditional manual closure.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
