Background: Transoral salvage surgery has the potential to preserve a patient's quality of life. Therefore, we investigated the outcomes, safety, and risk factors for postoperative complications of salvage transoral videolaryngoscopic surgery (TOVS) for recurrent hypopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
Methods: This retrospective analysis enrolled patients with hypopharyngeal cancer who had a history of RT or CRT and underwent TOVS from January 2008 to June 2021. The factors related to postoperative complications, postoperative swallowing functions and survival rates were analyzed.
Results: Seven patients (36.8%) of the 19 patients developed complications. Severe dysphagia was the primary complication, and post-cricoid resection was a complication risk factor. The FOSS score was significantly lower in the salvage treatment group. The survival rates were: 3-year overall survival: 94.4%; disease-specific survival: 94.4%; 5-year overall survival: 62.3%; and disease-specific survival: 86.6%.
Conclusions: Salvage TOVS for hypopharyngeal cancer was feasible, and oncologically and functionally reasonable. 2b.

Early-stage laryngeal cancer (T1-T2) is commonly treated with organ-preserving techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS) or radiation therapy (RT), both providing comparable oncological outcomes but differing in functional results. Local recurrence occurs in approximately 10% of cases, making salvage surgery a crucial therapeutic option. This multi-institutional study investigates the efficacy of open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL) as a salvage treatment, following recurrent laryngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (LSCC) after failed TOLMS.

Background: Residual, recurrent, and second primary head and neck cancers are on the rise. This is largely driven by a younger age at diagnosis and increasingly targeted chemoradiotherapy options. Salvage surgery remains the only curative intent option in this cohort of patients.

Objective: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has shown promising results in treating human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), and there has been increasing interest in incorporating neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) prior to TORS. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of sparing adjuvant RT following NCT and TORS.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with HPV-positive OPSCC who underwent NCT followed by TORS without adjuvant RT.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines surgical complications and functional outcomes in patients who underwent salvage oropharyngeal surgery after unsuccessful radiation therapy for recurrent oropharyngeal cancer.
- The analysis included 26 patients, focusing on their dependence on tracheostomy and tube feedings, as well as their ability to maintain oral intake.
- Results showed that while many patients achieved oral intake after a year, a significant number preferred gastric tube feedings for convenience, highlighting the complexities of recovery and patient choices post-surgery.
