From the operating theatre to the office: Functional outcomes, tolerability, and cost-effectiveness of the blue laser in benign laryngeal surgery.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] The 445 nm blue laser has expanded therapeutic possibilities in the office. However, comparative studies with laser surgery in the operating theatre are scarce. The present study aims to analyse both techniques a…

Contemporary Indications and Technical Limits of Transoral Laser Microsurgery for Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
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…

Expert perspectives for transoral robotic versus laser surgery for supraglottic carcinomas.
[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…

Good and bad indications for adjuvant radiotherapy after transoral laser microsurgery for laryngeal cancer.
[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] To summarize current evidence regarding the indication of adjuvant treatment after transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS). [RECENT FINDINGS] Apart from well known risk factors, margins represent the key point in the decis…

Sex differences in laryngeal cancer treated with COtransoral laser microsurgery: a case-control study.
[BACKGROUND] The aim of the present study was to evaluate the sex-disparities in larynx cancer patients treated with COTransoral Laser Microsurgery (CO-TOLMS). [METHODS] Retrospective analysis of 1290 consecutive patients. Oncologic and fu…

Refining prognostic subcategories in intermediate-advanced glottic cancer: A multicentric study on 637 patients treated by transoral laser microsurgery.
[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 …

Open partial or transoral laryngectomy - total laryngectomy today.
Total laryngectomy, a surgical procedure involving the complete removal of the larynx, has been a crucial treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer since its introduction in 1873. Over the past 150 years, this procedure has evolved significan…

Optimising oncologic outcomes in pT3 glottic cancers treated by transoral laser microsurgery: the impact of adjuvant treatment.
[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 (…
- Comments on: Value and role of surgical margins in transoral laser microsurgery of the larynx, literature review and clinical considerations.
-
The impact of margins in laryngeal cancer patients treated with transoral laser microsurgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
[PURPOSE] In laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) treated with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS), the status of margins significantly affected local control. When a positive or close margin is present, there is no ubiquitous consensu…

CO-TOLMS for laryngeal cancer in the elderly, pushing the boundaries of partial laryngectomy.
[INTRODUCTION] CO transoral laser microsurgery (CO-TOLMS) has pushed the indications of partial surgery of the larynx regardless the age of the patient. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the complications and the oncologic and functional outcomes of…

Salvage carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery for laryngeal cancer after (chemo)radiotherapy: a European Laryngological Society consensus statement.
[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…

Transoral laser microsurgery in locally advanced laryngeal cancer: Prognostic impact of anterior versus posterior compartments.
[BACKGROUND] To evaluate the importance of larynx compartments in the prognosis of T3-T4a laryngeal cancer treated with transoral laser microsurgery. [METHODS] Two hundred and two consecutive pT3-T4a larynx carcinomas. Pre-epiglottic space…
