OBJECTIVE: Lateral hypopharyngectomy (LH) is one of the organ-preservation surgical strategies available for treatment of selected naïve early squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as well as for rarer non-SCC tumours and persistent/recurrent/second primaries after chemoradiation of the lateral wall of the piriform sinus. Its reconstructive methods have been the subject of different approaches without a general consensus. The aim of the present study is to describe a retrospective series of LH reconstructed by inlay fascio-cutaneous free flaps, reporting on oncological and functional outcomes.
METHODS: Patients who underwent LH at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery of the University of Brescia, Italy, between 2017 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical history, tumour histotype, postoperative complications, functional, and oncological outcomes were collected.
RESULTS: Seven patients (6 males, 1 female) were included. In all, 29% had a treatment-naïve neoplasm, while 71% had recurrent disease. The final histology included 3 SCC, 2 synovial sarcomas, one liposarcoma, and one single-site mucosal metastasis from cutaneous melanoma. Negative margins were achieved in 6 patients (86%). All patients had swallowing rehabilitation by speech therapists and were able to safely eat a free diet at discharge, except for one who needed a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy to support nutritional oral intake. After a mean follow-up of 34.3 months, all patients except one are alive.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that, in selected cases, it is possible to radically remove lateral hypopharyngeal tumours with laryngeal preservation and free flaps inlay reconstruction, with a low rate of complications and acceptable functional and oncological results.
