چکیده
BACKGROUND Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a common complication of total laryngectomy. We hypothesized that perioperative proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment could reduce the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistulae. METHODS This prospective placebo-controlled double-blind randomized controlled trial compared PPI treatment (14 days enteral omeprazole) with a placebo in patients undergoing primary total laryngectomy. RESULTS Forty patients were randomized into PPI (n = 21) and placebo arms (n = 19). One of 21 patients receiving omeprazole developed a fistula in comparison to 6 of 19 patients in the placebo group (p = .04). No other statistically significant risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula were identified. The mean hospital stay of patients with and without a fistula was 32 and 7.5 days, respectively. CONCLUSION Pharyngocutaneous fistulae result in prolonged hospitalization and morbidity. We observed a statistically significant reduction in fistulae with PPI prophylaxis. Further research to better define the role of reflux and antacid management is suggested.

متن کاملStapler suture of the pharynx after total laryngectomy
The use of a stapler for pharyngeal closure during total laryngectomy was first described in 1971. It provides rapid watertight closure without surgical field contamination. The objective of our study was to compare the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy with manual and mechanical closures of the pharynx. This was a non-randomised, prospective clinical study conduct...
