Management of the Airway for Transoral Robotic Supraglottic Partial Laryngectomy

Abstract

Introduction: Over the last several decades, transoral resection techniques for treatment of supraglottic lesions have become increasingly favored to reduce the need for either open transcervical resection or primary chemoradiation. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers advantages in visualization, dissection control, and access to remove bulky tumors en bloc. However, the management of the airway for these cases tends to vary, without clear guidelines as to when a tracheostomy is necessary. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all patients who underwent transoral robotic supraglottic partial laryngectomy at a large academic center from May 2005 through December 2016 was performed. Airway management was examined, specifically as it pertains to whether a tracheostomy was performed at the time of surgery or otherwise. Demographic and tumor characteristics were also evaluated. Results: Sixty-three patients were included. Forty (63%) were male, the average age at surgery was 63.6, and the majority (90.5%) underwent resection for squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottis. Thirty-nine patients (62%) underwent the procedure with standard endotracheal intubation using a wire-reinforced tube. Of these, four patients requ...Continue Reading
