Abstract
Introduction: Vestibulectomy prior to Transoral microelectrodes surgery (TOMES) cordectomies improves the tumor exposure, enables precise oncological surgery ensuring minimal invasiveness. The finding of dysplasia in non-oncologic ventricular fold (VF) resections led us to analyze the histopathological results in all the samples.
Material and methods: We present a retrospective study analyzing 64 T1/T2 glottic carcinoma patients treated with TOMES cordectomy and uni/bilateral vestibulectomy. The bleeding rate and presence of dysplasia were evaluated. The procedure using microelectrodes is explained in the video (supplementary material).
Results: Among 64 patients (97% male, mean age 65), 83 non-oncological VF resection were analyzed. Vestibulectomy does not increase the risk of hemorrhage in our series. Total of 37% of dysplasia was found, low-grade dysplasia in 19% and high-grade dysplasia in 18% (high-grade in 6% and carcinoma in situ in 12%).
Conclusion: The vestibulectomy in TOMES cordectomy enhances surgical exposure without increasing bleeding risk or surgery. Dysplastic lesions of the ventricular bands seem to occur quite frequently even when the assessment is normal.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
