Article Synopsis
  • A study compared two methods of repairing pharyngocutaneous fistulas after total laryngectomy in 60 patients: one group used a thyroid gland flap, while the other used a traditional strap muscle repair.
  • Results showed a significantly lower incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula in the thyroid flap group (3.3%) compared to the strap muscle group (26.7%).
  • The findings suggest that using a pedicle thyroid flap is an effective way to reduce the occurrence of pharyngocutaneous fistulas post-surgery, making it a favorable option in clinical practice.
