Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication after total laryngectomy.
To establish the incidence of this complication and to analyze the predisposing factors.
This is a cross-sectional study of a historical cohort including 94 patients who underwent total laryngectomy. The following aspects were correlated to the occurrence of PCF: gender, age, tumor site, TNM staging, type of neck dissection, previous radiation therapy, previous tracheotomy, and use of stapler for pharyngeal closure. The following were considered in PCF cases: the day into postoperative care when the fistula was diagnosed, duration of occurrence, and proposed treatment.
Twenty (21.3%) patients had PCF. The incidence of PCF was statistically higher in T4 tumors when compared to T2 and T3 neoplasms ( = 0.03). The other analyzed correlations were not statistically significant. However, 40.9% of the patients submitted to tracheostomy previously had fistulae, against 21.1% of the patients not submitted to this procedure.
Advanced primary tumor staging is correlated with higher incidences of PCF.
咽皮肤瘘(PCF)是全喉切除术后最常见的并发症。
确定该并发症的发生率并分析相关危险因素。
这是一项对94例行全喉切除术患者的历史队列横断面研究。将以下因素与PCF的发生进行关联分析:性别、年龄、肿瘤部位、TNM分期、颈部清扫类型、既往放疗史、既往气管切开史以及咽部闭合时使用吻合器的情况。对于PCF病例,还考虑了瘘管诊断时进入术后护理的天数、发生持续时间以及建议的治疗方法。
20例(21.3%)患者发生了PCF。与T2和T3肿瘤相比,T4肿瘤患者的PCF发生率在统计学上更高( = 0.03)。其他分析的相关性无统计学意义。然而,既往行气管切开术的患者中有40.9%发生了瘘管,而未行该手术的患者中这一比例为21.1%。
原发肿瘤分期越晚,PCF的发生率越高。
