Background: The aim of the study was to describe a novel technique for reinforcement of salvage laryngectomy closure using a bipedicled musculofascial submental flap.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study design identified patients who underwent salvage laryngectomy reinforcement with a bipedicled submental hammock flap between January 2008 and December 2016 were compared to salvage laryngectomy patients treated with primary closure of the neopharynx during the same time period. Pharyngocutaneous fistula rates were compared between groups.
Results: Pharyngocutaneous fistula rate in the submental hammock group (2/31, 6.5%) was significantly lower compared to the primary closure group (14/45, 31%, P < .05).
Conclusion: The bipedicled musculofascial submental hammock flap is a viable method for reinforcement of salvage laryngectomy defects. It has a favorable pharyngocutaneous fistula rate compared to primary closure alone and has unique advantages over conventional methods of reinforcement.

Background: Laryngeal carcinoma is not uncommon worldwide. We conducted this study to comprehensively compare the outcome of stapler versus conventional suturing in total laryngectomy primary or salvage.
Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in our tertiary institute from 2015 to 2022 involving patients diagnosed with laryngeal carcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy either primary or salvage.

Introduction: It is debatable whether neck dissection is necessary in patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma who are clinically node-negative (cN0). We assessed the effect of neck dissection on overall survival in patients with cN0 undergoing primary or salvage laryngectomy.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation of cN0 patients who underwent primary or salvage total/pharyngolaryngectomy at a French tertiary facility in 2008-2018, with or without neck dissection, was carried out.

Aim: To develop a larynx preservation (LP) score model to predict laryngectomy-free survival (LFS) in advanced laryngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (LSCC) with morphological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with advanced LSCC were included. All patients were classified into NAC response and non-response groups according RECIST.

Article Synopsis
- The study reviews literature on stapler-assisted closed total laryngectomy (TL) and compares it to traditional manual methods.* -
- Research shows that stapler-assisted TL results in fewer pharyngocutaneous fistulas (PCF), shorter surgery times, reduced hospital stays, and quicker resumption of oral feeding.* -
- A case series of five patients demonstrated successful outcomes with stapler-assisted TL, including innovative reconstruction techniques, suggesting it is a safe option for certain patients with laryngeal tumors.*
