Article Synopsis
- - Total laryngectomy is a crucial treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer, leading to higher survival rates but resulting in significant lifestyle changes for patients, including loss of verbal communication and altered breathing.
- - The article, created by a specialized workgroup, aims to provide guidance on materials and procedures for the comprehensive rehabilitation of total laryngectomy patients to enhance their overall quality of life.
- - It targets healthcare professionals, patients, and ENT surgeons, outlining necessary staffing, procedures, rehabilitation types, and follow-up care to ensure effective treatment and support for patients post-surgery.
Background: Submandibular gland excision is traditionally performed using a transcervical approach. However, innovative surgical trials have recently been conducted to investigate techniques that can prevent or reduce visible scarring and nerve injury. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of a new approach to submandibular gland excision that is based on the use of a minimally invasive video-assisted technique and an ultrasound scalpel in an endoscopic neck surgery program with a low annual flow of procedures.

This is a prospective study on 11 consecutive patients with pharyngeal and supraglottic carcinomas between December 2013 and August 2014. All tumours were resected transorally with 35 cm ThunderbeatTM.
