Transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS) is an established organ-preserving treatment for early-stage and selected intermediate-stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Initially indicated for Tis-T1 lesions, its use has progressively exp…

This article, accompanied by technical notes and video, presents a case of an 85-year-old patient with a cT2N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated using CO transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES). The procedure achieved en bloc tumo…

[BACKGROUND] The current TNM staging system does not fully address the variations in glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) extension and subsites involvement, especially if treated with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS). This study aims …

Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) remains one of the most frequent and serious complications following total laryngectomy (TL). PCF can lead to severe health issues such as infections and thromboembolic events prolonging hospitalization, as w…

[OBJECTIVE] The treatment strategy for cT3 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is far from being standardised, and the role of adjuvant treatment(s) is not clearly defined. This study assessed the impact of adjuvant (chemo-)radiotherapy (…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the efficacy of transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES) in a unicentric series of patients affected by benign and malignant glottic and supraglottic lesions, and compare outcomes with those of transoral laser micro…

[BACKGROUND] Voice outcome after carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (COTOLMS) for glottic cancer is of prime importance. However, a comprehensive overview according to the European Laryngological Society (ELS) classification of cor…

[OBJECTIVE] Lateral hypopharyngectomy (LH) is one of the organ-preservation surgical strategies available for treatment of selected naïve early squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as well as for rarer non-SCC tumours and persistent/recurrent/sec…

[PURPOSE] Vascular perfusion research has been dedicated to identify inexpensive, effective, and easy to use methods to assess free flap perfusion for both buried and non-buried flaps. [METHODS] Systematic review of complications in patien…

[OBJECTIVE] Laryngeal chondritis (LC) is a rare complication of carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO TOLMS) for laryngeal tumours and can pose a diagnostic challenge. Its magnetic resonance (MR) features have not been previously …

Oral rehabilitation after maxillary oncological resection is challenging. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a 65-year-old Caucasian male adenoid cystic carcinoma patient using a myo-cutaneous thigh flap, zygomatic implant plac…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has a non-negligible incidence in elderly patients. However, there is still no clear indication on the ideal treatment for early-intermediate glottic LSCC in this specific age…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] Exoscopes are external digital devices that provide enhanced and magnified visualization of the surgical field. They usually have dedicated digital controls and a more compact mechanical structure than operative microsco…

[INTRODUCTION] The gracilis muscle free flap has gained popularity in head and neck reconstruction due to minimal donor-site morbidity, reliable vascular pedicle, strong muscular component, and possibility to perform nerve coaptation. Howev…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) with surface coils in assessing cartilage invasion in recurrent laryngeal carcinoma after carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO TOLMS). [METHODS] Two e…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess functional outcomes in patients treated by compartmental tongue surgery (CTS) and reconstruction for advanced oral tongue/floor-of-mouth cancer. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective case series. [METHODS] A retrospective coh…

[INTRODUCTION] Salvage total laryngectomy (STL) is the most common treatment for recurrent laryngeal cancer after (chemo)-radiotherapy [(C)RT]. In this scenario, a higher rate of local wound complications, such as pharyngo-cutaneous fistula…

To give an overview of the current knowledge regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of laryngeal dysplasia (LD) and to highlight the contributions of recent literature. The diagnosis of LD largely relies on endoscopic procedures …

[PURPOSE] In 2016, the European Laryngological Society (ELS) proposed a classification for vascular changes occurring in glottic lesions as visible by narrow band imaging (NBI), based on the dichotomic distinction between longitudinal vesse…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate long-term disease-specific survival (DSS) and organ preservation (OP) rates in patients affected by Tis-T2 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated by carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO TOLMS). [ST…

Nonsurgical primary treatment of early and advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, employing radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy, is considered a standard of care in many centers throughout the world. When patients have persistent…

[PURPOSE] To provide expert opinion and consensus on salvage carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO TOLMS) for recurrent laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) after (chemo)radiotherapy [(C)RT]. [METHODS] Expert members of the E…

[INTRODUCTION] The modern availability in daily practice of different DICOM viewers allows physicians to routinely evaluate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) scans of patients in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative settin…

Radiotherapy (RT) and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) represent the main treatment modalities for early glottic carcinoma. Local failure is notoriously more frequent in T1b glottic cancer in comparison to T1a and T2 tumors. In this scena…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck and no obvious primary tumor, neck cancer with unknown primary (NCUP), represent a management challenge. A majority of patients have metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SC…
