[Meta-analysis on the risk factors for stomal recurrence after total laryngectomy].

Objective: To evaluate the risk factors of stomal recurrence in patients after total laryngectomy.

Method: A thorough literature search was performed among Wanfang database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database of VIP and pubmed database. Meta analysis was performed on a total of 2725 patients in 2 Chinese papers and 6 English papers which met the inclusion criteria. Data was analyzed by RevMan 5.0 software.

Conclusion: Subglottic and transglottic location (tumor location), the extent of the tumor of the primary site (T4), preoperative tracheotomy were related to stomal recurrence after total laryngectomy.
