ABSTRACT

TR PDF

Radyoterapi (RT) ya da kemoradyoterapi (KRT) eşliğinde veya tek başına olmak üzere açık parsiyel veya total larinjektomiler larinks kanseri tedavisinin tek temel unsuru idi. Ancak, seçilmiş hastalarda transoral endoskopik karbondioksit lazer mikrocerrahisi (TLM) veya transoral robotik cerrahi (TORC) gibi minimal invaziv işlemlerin kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. Larinks çatısı bu cerrahilerde hasarlanmadığından, postoperatif yutma fonksiyonu daha hızlı iyileşmekte, rutin trakeotomi genellikle gerekmemektedir. Dahası, açık cerrahilerle kıyaslanabilir onkolojik sonuçları vardır.

ÖZET

Open partial or total laryngectomies with or without radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) are the only mainstays in the treatment of laryngeal carcinomas. However, minimally invasive procedures such as transoral endoscopic carbondioxide laser microsurgery (TLM) or transoral robotic surgeries (TRS) are now being increasingly used in selected patients. The laryngeal framework is not disturbed in these procedures; therefore, the postoperative swallowing function improves more rapidly, and routine tracheotomy is not usually required. Moreover, they have oncological results comparable with open procedures.
