| | 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. | | Language | chi | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
