ABSTRACT

AIM: Local recurrence of thyroid carcinomas can result in tumor infiltration in the lower region of the larynx. Since these tumors typically no longer store iodine, treatment options are greatly limited. The present study describes our experience with laryngo-tracheal resection of such cases of local recurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 2019 to November 2020, we treated five patients with malignant infiltration of the trachea and larynx due to local recurrence of a thyroid carcinoma. We performed laryngo-tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis in four patients and frontolateral partial laryngectomy in one patient. RESULTS: The median length of hospital stay was 6 days (5-14). An R0 resection was performed in two patients. Problems with the anastomosis or bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was not seen in any of the patients. One patient had to be reintubated on the second postoperative day due to lung failure. He was able to be extubated after five days. CONCLUSION: High tracheal resection with partial resection of the larynx was able to be performed with minimal risk. Although radical resections are rare, they expand oncological treatment options in the case of local recurrence of thyroid carcinomas that are iodine-refractory. High tracheal resection could be part of the oncological treatment spectrum in the case of local recurrence of thyroid carcinomas that no longer store iodine.
