Transoral Laser Microsurgery and Transoral Robotic Surgery in Aging Patients: A State-of-The-Art Review.
Clin Interv Aging
December 2024
Polyclinic of Poitiers, Elsan Hospital, Poitiers, France.
Purpose: In the present study, the findings related to the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic outcomes of elderly patients treated with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for supraglottic laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) have been reviewed.
Methods: A PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA statements. Critical literature analysis was carried out considering the last advancement in TOLS and TORS, and their related surgical, functional, and survival outcomes.
The real prognostic role of laryngeal dysplasia in patients affected by invasive cancer.

Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, IEO, European Institute of Oncology IRCCS, Via Ripamonti 435, 20141 Milan, Italy.
Purpose: Transoral laser microsurgery is the mainstay in treating early-stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. However, consensus is lacking in non-radical surgery for infiltrating cancer, and even doubts are cast for patients with laryngeal dysplasia at the resection margins. In this study we aim to assess the prognostic significance of laryngeal dysplasia at the surgical margins in patients radically treated for infiltrating cancer.

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the need for consistent treatment methods for supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma and evaluates the effectiveness of transoral laser microsurgery in improving patient survival outcomes.
- Conducted at a university hospital in Iran, the research involved 41 patients, mostly males, and used the Kaplan-Meier method to analyze survival rates over five years.
- The findings revealed a 68% overall recurrence-free survival rate and a 76% laryngectomy-free survival rate, indicating that the surgery offers promising outcomes, particularly for patients with earlier-stage tumors.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 53-year-old male with symptoms like weight loss, hoarseness, and dysphagia led to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through a biopsy, following imaging that revealed a significant lesion in the larynx.
- * The patient successfully underwent eight cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, resulting in complete remission with no recurrence in two years, highlighting the need for early detection and treatment due to symptom similarities with other laryngeal issues.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Foch Hospital, Suresnes, France.
Objective: To assess the opinion, practices, and challenges of international key opinion leaders about two minimal invasive surgical techniques in supraglottic laryngeal tumours: transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and the transoral robotic surgery (TORS).
Methods: Design of a questionnaire composed of seven sections and fifty questions covering descriptive data of participants, practitioners experience procedural sequences, considerations related to airways, feeding, and voice, intraoperative haemorrhage, postoperative management, and a comparative analysis of TLM and TORS in treating supraglottic laryngeal cancer.
Results: A total of 27 head and neck surgeons replied to the survey.

Laryngeal metastasis from a primitive distant cancer is a rare finding in clinical practice. In this paper is presented the case of a 63-year-old patient treated for lung adenocarcinoma metastasis in the supraglottic larynx. A review of literature suggests how the treatment of this kind of case is not unique.

Objective: This retrospective multicenter study aimed to evaluate surgical versus conservative treatment in patients with hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancer under real world conditions.
Methods: This study included 2307 patients diagnosed with hypopharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in five German tertiary head and neck centers between 01/2004 and 12/2014. Overall, 783 patients with advanced SCC consecutively underwent laryng(opharyng)ectomy (L(P)E).

Department of Radiation Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Parel, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess whether it is possible to protect the structures involved in swallowing and aspiration (DARS) during radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, while still effectively treating the tumors.
- - Researchers outlined specific target areas and dose limits for DARS in 35 patients, finding that the average dose received by these critical structures varied depending on the type of cancer and the size of the tumor volume.
- - Results indicated that sparing DARS was more difficult for patients with oropharyngeal cancers compared to laryngopharyngeal cancers, but it was achievable when the tumor volume was less than 150 cc or in patients with no or only one affected lymph node.
Postoperative pathological findings and prognosis of early laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer treated with transoral surgery.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Transoral surgery is effective for early-stage pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, offering good local control with less invasiveness compared to external incisions, but criteria for postoperative treatment remain unclear.
- In a study of 70 patients at Gifu University Hospital, high rates of positive surgical margins were found (38.6% horizontal, 27.1% vertical), yet overall survival rates were strong, with 77.1% surviving five years post-surgery.
- Horizontal margin positivity correlated with worse outcomes, while vascular invasion wasn't significantly linked to prognosis, indicating a need for more research to establish clear postoperative treatment guidelines.
