OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe management of esophageal stenosis after chemoradiation therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), with particular emphasis on techniques and outcomes with the use of the transnasal esophagoscope (TNE) in the office as well as operating room settings.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients with esophageal stenosis following head and neck cancer radiation, with or without chemotherapy, and managed with TNE-assisted esophageal dilation over a 5-year period. Preoperative and postoperative swallowing function were assessed objectively with the Functional Outcome Swallowing Scale (FOSS; ranging from score 0, a normal diet, to score 5, complete dependence on nonoral nutrition).
RESULTS: Twenty-five patients met inclusion criteria. The mean pretreatment FOSS score was 4.4, whereas the mean posttreatment FOSS score was 2.7 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P<.001). Prior to dilation, 16 patients were completely gastrostomy-tube dependent (FOSS 5), of whom 12 (75%) were able to tolerate oral nutrition for a majority of their diet following treatment according to our protocol. No complications were noted.
CONCLUSION: Dysphagia following chemoradiation therapy for HNSCC is often related to esophageal stenosis. With the aid of TNE, we have developed a successful treatment strategy for esophageal stenosis with improved success rates.
