Abstract

Background: Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy have been the standard of care for biopsy of lesions arising from the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). The requirement of general anesthesia is often a prerequisite. Procedures performed under the laryngeal block and local anesthesia are not viewed as appropriate from the point of view of patient comfort. Office-based flexible guided biopsy offers a less invasive alternative for obtaining biopsies from UADT.

Objective: To evaluate the yield, accuracy, feasibility, and safety of office-based flexible fiber-optic endoscope-directed biopsy (FEB) for laryngeal & pharyngeal lesions.

Methods: Setting- Tertiary care referral center.Retrospective cohort of FEB procedures undertaken in the period from June-December 2022.

Results: The study sample included 181 consecutive patients (median age 59 years) with lesions in supraglottis-25.4%, glottis-20.4%, nasopharynx-6%, oropharynx (base tongue/vallecula)-24.8%, and hypopharynx(pyriform fossa)-23.2%. The median time from outpatient visit to FEB was 1.9 days (1-4 days). Malignancy was confirmed in 166/181 patients, with 8 pre-malignant and 7 benign lesions. FEB confirmed the appropriate diagnosis in 159/181 (88.1%), and a repeat FEB in the 22 non-diagnostic situations yielded a diagnosis in another 8 (92.8% overall). The remaining 14 patients were appropriately diagnosed by a subsequent operating room endoscopy. The rate of conversion to direct laryngoscopy biopsy was approximately 7.73%. FEB demonstrated sensitivity (86.8%), specificity (100%), Positive Predictive Value (100%), Negative Predictive Value (23.3%), and overall Accuracy (87.29%). Univariate analysis indicated poor diagnostic yield for nasopharynx subsite (OR - 0.15; p = 0.003) and post-radiation/chemoradiation cases(OR - 7.04; p = 0.05). Multivariate analysis of the impact of patient characteristics, lesion subsite/morphology, and prior tracheostomy did not reveal a statistically significant association with histological yield. Mean biopsy time was 8 min with minor complications (pain/ minor bleeding) in 29/203 FEB procedures (14.28%), and major complications in 12(5.9%) (significant bleeding-2, airway compromise-9; death-1).

Conclusion: Office-based FFB is a viable alternative to direct laryngoscopic guided biopsy with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. Appropriate utilization of FFB will reduce the need for direct laryngoscopy.

背景:直接喉镜检查和活检一直是上消化道(UADT)病变活检的标准方法。全身麻醉往往是前提条件。从患者舒适度的角度来看,在喉阻滞和局部麻醉下进行的手术并不合适。基于诊室的柔性引导活检为从 UADT 获取活检样本提供了一种创伤较小的替代方法:评估办公室柔性纤维内窥镜引导活检(FEB)治疗喉部和咽部病变的产量、准确性、可行性和安全性:研究地点:三级医疗转诊中心,对2022年6月至12月期间进行的FEB手术进行回顾性队列:研究样本包括181名连续患者(中位年龄59岁),病变部位包括声门上-25.4%、声门-20.4%、鼻咽-6%、口咽(舌根/瓣)-24.8%和下咽(梨状窝)-23.2%。从门诊就诊到FEB的中位时间为1.9天(1-4天)。166/181例患者确诊为恶性肿瘤,其中8例为恶性前病变,7例为良性病变。159/181(88.1%)例患者的前列腺电切术确诊为恶性肿瘤,在22例未确诊的患者中,有8例(占总人数的92.8%)通过重复前列腺电切术确诊为恶性肿瘤。其余14名患者通过随后的手术室内窥镜检查得到了适当的诊断。转为直接喉镜活检的比例约为 7.73%。FEB 显示了灵敏度(86.8%)、特异性(100%)、阳性预测值(100%)、阴性预测值(23.3%)和总体准确性(87.29%)。单变量分析表明,鼻咽部位(OR - 0.15; p = 0.003)和放疗/化疗后病例(OR - 7.04; p = 0.05)的诊断率较低。对患者特征、病变部位/形态和既往气管造口术的影响进行的多变量分析未发现与组织学结果有显著的统计学关联。平均活检时间为8分钟,29/203例FEB手术(14.28%)出现轻微并发症(疼痛/轻微出血),12例(5.9%)出现严重并发症(明显出血-2例,气道受损-9例;死亡-1例):结论:基于诊室的 FFB 是直接喉镜引导活检的可行替代方法,其敏感性和特异性均可接受。适当使用 FFB 将减少对直接喉镜检查的需求。
