RESUMO

Many surgeons find that patients have increased morbidity after supraglottic laryngectomy if postoperative irradiation is given, but this remains poorly documented. Twenty-nine patients undergoing supraglottic laryngectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Seventeen received postoperative radiotherapy, and 12 did not. The mean follow-up was 64 months. When compared to patients treated with supraglottic laryngectomy alone, irradiated patients had a significantly higher incidence of lifelong gastrostomy dependency (35% versus 0%; p = .03) and acute upper airway obstruction (29% versus 0%; p = .05). There was a trend toward greater tracheotomy dependency (24% versus 0%), aspiration pneumonia (35% versus 9%), and delayed independent swallowing (34.8 weeks versus 7.8 weeks) in the patients treated with combined therapy, but this difference was not significant. A morbidity index score was developed to evaluate the overall lifelong morbidity of these patients, and this was found to be significantly higher in patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy (2.29 versus 0.83; p = .04). Overall survival was equal in both groups. We have shown that radiotherapy increases the morbidity of supraglottic laryngectomy. This should be considered when planning treatment for patients with supraglottic carcinoma.

RESUMO

The external rhinoplasty approach is a refinement of the well-recognized sublabial transseptal technique for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy first introduced by Cushing in 1910. This article relates our experience with 111 cases of transsphenoidal hypophysectomy performed during a 10-year period (1982-1992) and includes a detailed description of our use of the external technique. Fifty-one patients were male, and 60 were female. Ages ranged from 12 years to 80 years, with an average of 46 years. One hundred one patients had pituitary adenomas, four had craniopharyngiomas, two had inverting papillomas, and there was one each of lymphoma, metastatic prostate cancer, pituitary abscess, and posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid leak. Nine of the operations were for recurrent adenomas. Complications included 8 symptomatic anterior septal perforations and 13 asymptomatic posterior perforations. Five had transient cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, five had perioperative hemorrhages, two had minor postoperative columellar deformities, and one had injury to the internal carotid artery requiring embolization. We have found the external technique for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy to be a reliable and facile means for nasal exposure of the sphenoid sinus and pituitary gland without loss of nasal tip projection or significant cosmetic deformity.

RESUMO

The electrophysiologic and histologic effects of the Bard Argon Beam Coagulator (ABC) were investigated in the New Zealand White rabbit. Thirty-four rabbits were divided into three groups. Controls underwent simple femoral exploration and closure. The remaining rabbits' femoral nerves were spot coagulated with either the ABC or standard electrosurgical unit (ESU). Stimulus thresholds were recorded before treatment and again prior to sacrifice at 0, 30, 60, or 120 days. Thresholds were significantly elevated for the ABC and ESU compared to controls (P = .0077 and .0351, respectively). Changes in threshold were greater for the ABC than for the ESU, but were not significant. All ABC- and ESU-treated nerves had significant histologic injury when compared to controls (P < .0002). Although the ABC may be clinically safe, significant injury to rabbit femoral nerves occurs when they are exposed to energy emitted by this instrument.

RESUMO

Several familial cancer syndromes have been identified. The syndrome of sarcomas, breast cancer and other neoplasms, known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, is characterized by several different neoplasms presenting at young ages with autosomal dominant transmission and a high incidence of second primaries. In this paper, we studied six generations (51 people) of the family of a 24-year-old man with osteogenic sarcoma of the mandible. Twelve malignancies in 11 people, including several rare tumors, were revealed. Mean age of presentation was 24 years old. Nine of the 11 patients died of disease. One developed a second primary. Two tumors presented in the head and neck. Transmission was autosomal dominant. The karyotypes of two family members were normal. Identification of Li-Fraumeni syndrome in a family is important in determining appropriate follow-up for the patient and family. Such families are models for studying carcinogenesis.
