Salvage Transoral Laser Microsurgery for Radiorecurrent Laryngeal Cancer: Indications, Limits, and Outcomes

Abstract

Purpose of Review

The aim of this report is to identify relevant literature reports on salvage transoral laser microsurgery (TLM); to consider its oncologic and functional outcomes, as well as reported complications; and to address indications and limitations of salvage TLM.

Findings

The weighted average of local control after first salvage TLM was 57%. Repeated TLM procedures for second or third recurrences were required in up to 41% of cases, resulting in a weighted average of local control with TLM alone of 67%. The rate of definite laryngeal preservation was 73%. The ultimate local control rate, including cases that required total laryngectomy, was 90%. The overall complication rate after salvage TLM was 14%.

Summary

Salvage TLM of radiorecurrent laryngeal cancer yields excellent oncologic outcomes. Serious complications are scarce, hospitalization times are short, and functional outcomes in terms of voice and swallowing are favorable when compared to open conservation laryngeal surgery. The key to success is an optimal patient selection.
