Abstract
BACKGROUND: In recurrent hypopharyngeal/laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiation salvage-laryngectomy (salvage-LE) represents the best curative treatment option. Pre-irradiation promotes development of pharyngocutaneous fistulas (pc-fistula). Transfer of unirradiated tissue to the surgical site reduces fistula rate. Frequently, a myocutaneous Pectoralis-major-flap (PMF) is applied. We describe a muscle sparing, myofascial PMF (ms-PMF) and its functional & aesthetic results.
METHODS: For the ms-PMF, the pectoralis major is exposed via two 8 cm long subclavicular & submammary horizontal incisions. The pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery, which represents the blood supply for the ms-PMF, is identified between the clavicular and sternocostal aspect of the muscle. A cranciocaudal stripe of the pectoralis major is recovered and supraclaviculary transposed towards the pharynx. The clavicular and sternocostal part of the muscle remain untouched.The clear-margin resection rate (CMRR), mean overall survival (OS), complications, median length of hospital stay, & functional & esthetic outcome were assessed.
RESULTS: In 25 patients, salvage-LE with ms-PMF was performed. The CMRR was 100 %, median OS 1.3 (follow-up 2.8) years, complications rate 16 % (4 complete lobe necroses, 3 pc-fistulas) and median inpatient stay 20 (11-78) days. Good functional outcome were observed: limitations of oral food intake occurred in 2-, limitations in voice rehabilitation in 3 patients. Wound healing disorders without lobe necrosis were not observed. The aesthetic results were appealing.
CONCLUSION: The ms-PMF is a less invasive & safe procedure for fistula prophylaxis in salvage-LE with favorable functional & aesthetic results.
