This technique is controversial as there are significant impacts on quality of life, including loss of functional speech and swallowing. A systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines with the primary goal of quantifying the functional outcomes and overall survival of patients undergoing TGL. The initial search resulted in 748 studies; seven of these met the inclusion criteria. Five studies evaluated functional speech postoperatively, and 12.1% (8/66) of patients in these studies achieved a form of functional speech. Most studies did not refer to the use of specific postoperative voice rehabilitation. Regarding swallowing function, 53.3% (32/60) of patients in five studies regained their ability to swallow. In six studies reporting gastrostomy tube dependence, 37.7% (29/77) of patients were tube-dependent. Recurrence within 1-year was reported in three studies; 52% (26/50) of the patients had recurrence within 1 year, and the 1-year disease-free survival rate was 48%. TGL is a highly invasive surgery; postoperatively, most patients do not regain the ability to speak, while only half are able to swallow. Despite these extreme efforts and sacrifices by the patient, approximately half of patients have a recurrence within the first year. The decision to perform a TGL should be made only in select and motivated patients after carefully explaining and weighing the oncological and quality of life risks and benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":94053,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery","volume":" ","pages":"103-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141984218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data of 1022 consecutive patients treated with resection of TASC neoplasms from May 2000 to October 2022 were reviewed. Pathology outcomes were classified according to the World Health Organization classification and Bone Tumors (Dorfman and Czerniak). Extent of the lesions was analysed based on imaging modalities. Ten tissue origins were observed. Synovial lesions accounted for the highest proportion of pathologies (56.0%). Regarding their biological behaviour, the lesions could be divided into pseudotumours (12.8%), benign tumours (28.4%), intermediate tumours (57.0%), or malignant tumours (1.8%). All lesions originated from one of four sites: lesions intrinsic to the TMJ (91.5%), extending from adjacent structures (7.7%), distant metastatic spread (0.4%), and multiple general foci (0.4%).
