متن کاملPreventing pharyngo-cutaneous fistula in total laryngectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the gold-standard nonsurgical organ-preservation treatment for advanced laryngeal carcinoma. Total laryngectomy (TL) is increasingly reserved for surgical salvage. Salvage surgery is associated with more complications than primary surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to establish the impact of organ preservation prot...
متن کامل[Incidence, hospital stay and risk factors associated with the occurrence of pharyngo-cutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Pharyngo-cutaneous fistula (PCF) is one of the main problems for patients undergoing total laryngectomy.

متن کاملPharyngocutaneous fistula onset after total laryngectomy: scintigraphic analysis.
Pharyngocutaneous fistula is the most common non-fatal complication following total laryngectomy. To start oral feeding and exclude the presence of a pharyngocutaneous fistula, a subjective test and instrumental assessments using videofluoroscopy, have been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral-pharyngo-oesophageal scintigraphy as an objective and non-invasi...
