PHARYNGOCUTANEOUS FISTULAE FOLLOWING LARYNGECTOMY

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1985
This retrospective analysis of 100 patients revealed a postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistula rate of 15.3% following total laryngectomy, and 21.4% following partial pharyngolaryngectomy. All fistulae were benign. None resulted in mortality. The most significant risk factor for the development of fistulae is prior radiotherapy, especially high dose ...

PHARYNGOCUTANEOUS FISTULA COMPLICATING TOTAL LARYNGECTOMY

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1980
A series of 124 total laryngectomies for carcinoma is reviewed. The postoperative morbidity is discussed, and pharyngocutaneous fistula was found to occur in 30 patients. Its management is reviewed, and consideration is given to its relation to preoperative irradiation.

Pharyngocutaneous fistulae following total laryngectomy

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1979
Postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistula formation is a troublesome complication in head and neck surgery and occurred in 8 out of 53 patients following a total laryngectomy (15%). The incidence falls within the lower range of that reported in the literature (6-66%). Different factors which may influence the formation of fistulae were analysed.

Pharyngocutaneous Fistulas

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1986
After total laryngectomy, postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistula still constitutes a most troublesome and challenging problem. We present 9 cases of postoperative fistulas managed by one-stage flap reconstruction. Possible contributing factors related to earlier management or medical status are identified. When the posterior pharyngeal wall was intact
