Résumé
Preserving laryngeal function after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer is an important consideration. Therefore, we examined the use of thyroid flaps for this purpose. We analyzed 21 patients who underwent thyroid flap reconstruction after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2010 to January 2020. All patients were male and aged 51-64 years. Seventeen patients underwent modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy, and the remaining four patients underwent modified cricohyoidopexy. The thyroid flap was pedicled from the superior thyroid blood vessels. In the modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy, the flap was turned to cover the area between the tracheal ring and epiglottis to reconstruct the anterior wall of the cricoid cartilage, whereas in the modified cricohyoidopexy, it was turned over between the cricoid cartilage and tongue root to reduce anastomotic tension. A total of seven patients underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. Thyroid flap reconstruction was successfully performed in all patients. The postoperative hospitalization time was 9-21 days, the postoperative nasal feeding time was 18-47 days, and the tracheotomy tube was removed 30-160 days after surgery. No laryngeal stenosis, flap necrosis, bleeding complication, or dysfunction of the thyroid and parathyroid glands was observed after surgery. Two patients experienced wound infections about 1 week after discharge and were admitted again for antibiotic treatment. After dressing and compressing the neck wound, the patients were discharged. Three patients experienced local tumor recurrence after surgery, two of whom did not receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy after modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy. No patients had distant metastasis after surgery. Thyroid flaps have significant application value in the reconstruction of the laryngeal cavity after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. It has high safety and feasibility, convenient surgical procedure, and satisfactory postoperative outcomes.

Preserving laryngeal function after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer is an important consideration. Therefore, we examined the use of thyroid flaps for this purpose.

METHODS
We analyzed 21 patients who underwent thyroid flap reconstruction after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2010 to January 2020. All patients were male and aged 51-64 years. Seventeen patients underwent modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy, and the remaining four patients underwent modified cricohyoidopexy. The thyroid flap was pedicled from the superior thyroid blood vessels. In the modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy, the flap was turned to cover the area between the tracheal ring and epiglottis to reconstruct the anterior wall of the cricoid cartilage, whereas in the modified cricohyoidopexy, it was turned over between the cricoid cartilage and tongue root to reduce anastomotic tension. A total of seven patients underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Thyroid flap reconstruction was successfully performed in all patients. The postoperative hospitalization time was 9-21 days, the postoperative nasal feeding time was 18-47 days, and the tracheotomy tube was removed 30-160 days after surgery. No laryngeal stenosis, flap necrosis, bleeding complication, or dysfunction of the thyroid and parathyroid glands was observed after surgery. Two patients experienced wound infections about 1 week after discharge and were admitted again for antibiotic treatment. After dressing and compressing the neck wound, the patients were discharged. Three patients experienced local tumor recurrence after surgery, two of whom did not receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy after modified tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy. No patients had distant metastasis after surgery.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Thyroid flaps have significant application value in the reconstruction of the laryngeal cavity after partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. It has high safety and feasibility, convenient surgical procedure, and satisfactory postoperative outcomes.
