Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate risk factors for stomal recurrence and to state and emphasize the importance of these factors.
Patients And Methods: This study was carried out retrospectively on 119 patients (116 males, 3 females; mean age 56.8 years; range 31 to 86 years) with larynx cancer who underwent total laryngectomy. All patients were examined for T-stage and location of primary tumor, tracheotomy (preoperative or postoperative) opening time, modality of applied treatment, presence of pharyngeal stoma fistula and presence of cervical lymph node metastasis in the postoperative period.
Results: Five patients (4.2%) out of 119 had stomal recurrence. Development period of stomal recurrence after laryngectomy was found to be between six months and three years (mean: 16.6 months).
Conclusion: The treatment of this fatal complication is very difficult, and it has a poor prognostic nature. As a result, presence of subglottic involvement and advanced tumors in our cases are considered as main risk factors.

Introduction: Stenosis is a serious complication associated with stomas. The initial treatment for stoma stenosis is mainly the finger-bougie technique or balloon dilatation, and recurrence requires stomal reconstruction. However, the use of local triamcinolone injections for treating stoma stenosis has not been reported.

Objective: To identify risk factors for stenosis and compare management strategies for stenosis etiology and to examine the efficacy of each approach. Patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), a rare genitourinary malformation, may require construction of a continent urinary stoma (CUS) if incontinence persists. Stomal stenosis is a challenging complication as it is common, progressive, and recurrent.

Materials And Methods: We studied the perioperative and follow-up data of patients who underwent cystectomy for cancer associated with CCUD (Mitrofanoff, Monti or Casale). We retrospectively analyzed complications within 30days and beyond 30days post-surgery.

Trans-oral total laryngectomy (TOTL) is a novel minimally invasive approach to narrow-field laryngectomy. The objective of this study was to review published data on robotic and endoscopic-assisted TOTL to examine oncologic, functional, and adverse outcomes. MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched between January 2009 and December 2023.
