RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a major wound complication of total laryngectomy. Surgical sealants may be used to increase the strength and/or integrity of surgical repairs. The purpose of this study was to present our evaluation of the feasibility and utility of the application of sealant to the pharyngeal repair with the aim of reducing pharyngocutaneous fistula incidence. METHODS: This was a prospective single-blind randomized controlled study; patients undergoing primary total laryngectomy for advanced carcinoma of the larynx were randomized into control and treatment (albumin-polyaldehyde sealant applied to pharyngeal repair) groups. Relevant patient, disease, and management-related factors were recorded. RESULTS: Forty-five patients were included (23 controls and 22 who received treatments). No difference in the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula was observed between the 2 groups. No treatment-related complications occurred. CONCLUSION: Feasibility of application of an albumin-polyaldehyde surgical sealant to the pharyngeal repair was demonstrated, however, a pharyngocutaneous fistula-preventative effect was not observed. Larger animal and clinical studies are encouraged to clarify this finding.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Children with syndromic craniosynostosis frequently suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The aim of the authors' study was to investigate if midface advancement surgery for patients with SC improved the severity of OSA by examining the results of sleep studies before and after surgery. METHODS: A retrospective comparison of the pre and postoperative sleep study data of children undergoing midface advancement surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital between 2007 and 2016. RESULTS: A total of 65 children underwent midface advancement surgery between 2007 and 2016 at Great Ormond Street Hospital and had recorded pre- and postoperative sleep studies. Thirteen patients were excluded from the analysis as their sleep study techniques before and after surgery were not comparable (e.g., different conditions with prong/continuous positive airway pressure use). Fifty-six percent of the patients were treated by monobloc surgery and the remainder with bipartition surgery. A greater proportion of patients had a normal OSA grading following midface advancement (42.3% postoperatively vs. 23.1% preoperatively, P = 0.059) although no statistically significant categorical changes in OSA grade were observed. Seventy-one percent of the patients had a decrease in Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index after surgery (21 patients 2011 onward). Similarly, there was no significant change in median oxygen desaturation index or in oxygen saturation nadir following surgery. CONCLUSION: The authors report one of the largest reviews of the effects of midface advancement surgery on sleep study parameters. Most patients showed improvements in Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index and OSA grading, although measures of oxygenation showed no consistent change.

RESUMO

Glottic stenosis is a fixed, focal narrowing at the level of the laryngeal inlet, the true vocal cords. It may be either congenital or acquired and be related to a wide range of etiologies. The stenosis may be either anterior, posterior, or in rare cases, complete. Isolated glottic stenosis is rare; lesions often involve adjacent regions, namely the subglottis. A diagnosis is made from careful history and examination, including evaluation by microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. The management of glottic stenosis is challenging and should be tailored to each individual case. A secure and adequate airway is the treatment priority alongside optimization of voice and laryngeal competence. Endoscopic and open techniques in either single or multiple stages have been described.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a common complication of total laryngectomy. We hypothesized that perioperative proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment could reduce the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistulae. METHODS: This prospective placebo-controlled double-blind randomized controlled trial compared PPI treatment (14 days enteral omeprazole) with a placebo in patients undergoing primary total laryngectomy. RESULTS: Forty patients were randomized into PPI (n = 21) and placebo arms (n = 19). One of 21 patients receiving omeprazole developed a fistula in comparison to 6 of 19 patients in the placebo group (p = .04). No other statistically significant risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula were identified. The mean hospital stay of patients with and without a fistula was 32 and 7.5 days, respectively. CONCLUSION: Pharyngocutaneous fistulae result in prolonged hospitalization and morbidity. We observed a statistically significant reduction in fistulae with PPI prophylaxis. Further research to better define the role of reflux and antacid management is suggested.

RESUMO

Primary carcinoid tumors of the nasal cavity and sinuses are exceedingly rare. An accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial to optimal investigation and management. We present a case of a primary atypical carcinoid tumor arising from the sphenoid rostrum without evidence of associated carcinoid syndrome. This rare but important differential diagnosis of a nasal tumor is discussed and important unique management issues are highlighted.
