Lechien JR. Surgical, Functional, and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic surgery for cT1-T3 supraglottic laryngeal Cancers: A systematic review. Oral Oncol 2024; 159:107047. [PMID: 39348784 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2024.107047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/21/2024] [Indexed: 10/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review investigated the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy (TORS-SGL) for cT1-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS Two investigators conducted an updated PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library systematic review for studies investigating the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL using the PRISMA statements. The bias analysis was conducted with the MINORS. RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included, accounting for 896 patients. TORS-SGL was primarily performed for cT1 (39.1 %), cT2 (46.9 %), and some selected cT3 (7.7 %) LSCCs. Surgical margins were positive in 10.8 % of cases. The mean hospital stay was 8.6 days. Hemorrhage (6.3 %), pneumonia (5.5 %), and aspiration (1.7 %) are the primary complications. The surgical margins were positive in 10.6 % of cases. Feeding tubes, temporary tracheotomy, and definitive percutaneous gastrostomy are found in 65.6 %, 19.7 %, and 5.2 % of patients, respectively. The oral diet is restarted after a mean of 7.2 days. The 5-year OS and DFS of TORS-SGL were estimated to be 78.3 %, and 91.7 %, with 5-year local-relapse-free survival and nodal-relapse-free survival of 90.8 %, and 86.6 %, respectively. CONCLUSION The TORS-SGL is a safe, and effective surgical approach for cT1-T3 SGL. The functional and surgical outcomes appear comparable with TOLM-SGL. The oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL could be better than TOLM and open SGLs, but further large cohort-controlled studies are needed to draw reliable conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transoral laser microsurgery, the standard surgical approach for early-stage laryngeal cancer, necessitates an unobstructed line of sight to the operating field. However, achieving adequate laryngeal exposure can be challenging, potentially compromising treatment outcomes. METHODS We developed a 3D-printed curved laryngoscope (sMAC), designed to match the upper airway anatomy. In a user study (n = 15) with a human body donor we compared the sMAC system to conventional microlaryngoscopy regarding laryngeal exposure and accessibility in a difficult exposure scenario. RESULTS All 15 participants achieved complete glottic exposure and successfully manipulated laryngeal landmarks using the sMAC system. Only four participants achieved partial exposure using microlaryngoscopy. Positioning of the sMAC system was significantly faster (p = 0.023). A vocal cord resection was conducted successfully (n = 2) using the sMAC system. CONCLUSION The sMAC system effectively addresses challenges associated with transoral laryngeal surgery. Ongoing development aims to overcome current limitations of the system and prepare first clinical trials.

Abstract
Laryngeal cancer is the second most common cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract, with its incidence increasing across all ages. The conventional treatments for laryngeal cancer include surgical procedure, radiation, and chemotherapy; however, these treatments can lead to various complications. Photothermal therapy (PTT) using laser light has been employed form cancer effective treatment because of its minimal invasion and short operation time. The current study aims to investigate the feasibility of 532 nm PTT on laryngeal cancer in an invivo tumor model. Ex vivo dosimetry evaluation was conducted to determine the laser irradiation conditions, and HEP-2 tumor bearing mice were used to demonstrate in vivo photothermal effects. In addition, histology and western blot analysis were conducted to verify tumor necrosis and any changes in cancer-associated factors in the tumor tissues. The current in vivo results showed that PTT at 5 W for 40 s and 20 W for 10 s had comparable effects in terms of temperature increase and tumor removal. The 532 nm PTT significantly decreased the remaining tumor and downregulated the expression levels of MMP- 9 and ERK. The current study demonstrated that the 532 nm PTT could be a feasible option for treatment of laryngeal tumor with high power delivery for a short exposure time. Further investigations will confirm the endoscopic application of the 532 nm PTT for the treatment of intralaryngeal tissue prior to clinical translation.

Depth of Invasion Assessment in Laryngeal Glottic Carcinoma: A Preoperative Imaging Approach for Prognostication. Laryngoscope 2024; 134:3230-3237. [PMID: 38407326 DOI: 10.1002/lary.31369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic value of depth of invasion (DOI) in oral squamous cell cancer carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma is well established, while there is a lack of reports investigating the role of DOI in laryngeal cancer. This study aims to explore the association of glottic cancer DOI with other established pathological risk factors and nodal metastasis and evaluate the feasibility of measuring DOI preoperatively using tomographic imaging. METHODS The medical records of glottic cancer patients treated between 2015 and 2020 in a single tertiary referral center were screened retrospectively. Pathologically measured DOI (pDOI) value was also reviewed and registered. Preoperative computer tomography (CT) was used to obtain the radiological DOI (rDOI) measured by two dedicated radiologists. Their inter-rated agreement was assessed and the correlation between pDOI and rDOI was calculated. pDOI association with the main pathology report features was assessed with univariable analysis. Cox univariable and multivariable models were used to explore the role of pDOI on survival. RESULTS Ninety-one patients had pDOI data available, of which 59 also had rDOI data. A strong concordance between the two radiologists was found (concordance correlation coefficient = 0.96); rDOI and pDOI were highly and significantly correlated (R = 0.85; p < 0.001). pDOI was significantly higher in patients with perineural invasion (PNI; p < 0.001), lymphovascular invasion (LVI; p < 0.001), and nodal metastasis (p < 0.001). pDOI was associated with disease-free survival at univariable analysis (p = 0.04) while it did not show a significant impact (p = 0.10) at multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Glottic carcinoma DOI correlates with PNI, LVI, and nodal metastasis and it can be reliably assessed in a preoperative setting using CT imaging.

Abstract
The inaugural total laryngectomy in history was conducted by Billroth in 1873. Nevertheless, significant enhancements to the technique were achieved through the contributions of Gluck, Sorensen, and various other surgeons. Throughout the twentieth century, advancements in anesthesia, infectious disease, hospital hygiene, antibiotic therapy, resuscitation, and the expertise of numerous laryngologists elevated total laryngectomy to a pivotal surgical intervention in head and neck surgery. The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed a paradigm shift with the emergence of organ preservation protocols. Total laryngectomy became the preferred choice for patients experiencing radiotherapy failure. However, the widespread use of laryngeal conservative treatments appears to be correlated with a decline in overall survival rates in the United States and Europe. The evolution of new minimally invasive surgical approaches in the twenty-first century may usher in a revolutionary era in the management of laryngeal carcinoma, offering the potential for improved survival and functional outcomes.

OTO Open 2024; 8:e125. [PMID: 38863485 PMCID: PMC11165682 DOI: 10.1002/oto2.125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Since 2015, Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) has been used in general anesthesia for preoxygenation or difficult exposure airway management. Its use offers new opportunities in laryngology. THRIVE increases apnea time and frees the access to the upper airway. However, its use may be less stable than orotracheal intubation. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the feasibility of laryngeal microsurgery under THRIVE including using Laser. Study Design Retrospective. Setting A total of N = 99 patients with laryngeal microsurgery (with or without CO2 laser) under THRIVE were included successively from January 1, 2020 to January 30, 2022. Method Medical history, comorbidities, clinical and surgical data were extracted and analyzed. Two groups were constituted regarding the "success" (use of THRIVE along all the procedure) or the "failure" (need for an endotracheal tube) of the use of THRIVE during the procedure. Results A failure occurred in N = 15/99 patients (15.2%) mainly due to refractory hypoxia. The odd ratios (OR) for THRIVE failure were: OR = 6.6 [2.9-35] for overweight (BMI >25 kg/m2); OR = 3.8 [1.7-18.7] for ASA score >2; OR = 4.7 [2.3-24.7] for the use of CO2 laser. Elderly patients and patients with pulmonary pathology were not statistically at greater risk of THRIVE failure. No adverse event was described. Conclusion This work confirms the feasibility of laryngeal microsurgery under THRIVE, including with CO2 laser. Overweight, ASA >2 and lower fraction of inspired oxygen during CO2 laser use increased the risk for orotracheal intubation.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is well known as a serious health problem worldwide, especially in low-income countries or those with limited resources, such as most countries in Latin America. International guidelines cannot always be applied to a population from a large region with specific conditions. This study established a Latin American guideline for care of patients with head and neck cancer and presented evidence of HNSCC management considering availability and oncologic benefit. A panel composed of 41 head and neck cancer experts systematically worked according to a modified Delphi process on (1) document compilation of evidence-based answers to different questions contextualized by resource availability and oncologic benefit regarding Latin America (region of limited resources and/or without access to all necessary health care system infrastructure), (2) revision of the answers and the classification of levels of evidence and degrees of recommendations of all recommendations, (3) validation of the consensus through two rounds of online surveys, and (4) manuscript composition. The consensus consists of 12 sections: Head and neck cancer staging, Histopathologic evaluation of head and neck cancer, Head and neck surgery-oral cavity, Clinical oncology-oral cavity, Head and neck surgery-oropharynx, Clinical oncology-oropharynx, Head and neck surgery-larynx, Head and neck surgery-larynx/hypopharynx, Clinical oncology-larynx/hypopharynx, Clinical oncology-recurrent and metastatic head and neck cancer, Head and neck surgery-reconstruction and rehabilitation, and Radiation therapy. The present consensus established 48 recommendations on HNSCC patient care considering the availability of resources and focusing on oncologic benefit. These recommendations could also be used to formulate strategies in other regions like Latin America countries.

Post-Operational Photodynamic Therapy of the Tumor Bed: Comparative Analysis for Cold Knife and Laser Scalpel Resection. Biomedicines 2024; 12:291. [PMID: 38397893 PMCID: PMC11154242 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we report on a study regarding the efficiency of the post-operational phototherapy of the tumor bed after resection with both a cold knife and a laser scalpel in laboratory mice with CT-26 tumors. Post-operational processing included photodynamic therapy (PDT) with a topically applied chlorin-based photosensitizer (PS), performed at wavelengths of 405 or 660 nm, with a total dose of 150 J/cm2. The selected design of the tumor model yielded zero recurrence in the laser scalpel group and 92% recurrence in the cold knife group without post-processing, confirming the efficiency of the laser scalpel in oncology against the cold knife. The application of PDT after the cold knife resection decreased the recurrence rate to 70% and 42% for the 405 nm and 660 nm procedures, respectively. On the other hand, the application of PDT after the laser scalpel resection induced recurrence rates of 18% and 30%, respectively, for the considered PDT performance wavelengths. The control of the penetration of PS into the tumor bed by fluorescence confocal microscopy indicated the deeper penetration of PS in the case of the cold knife, which presumably provided deeper PDT action, while the low-dose light exposure of deeper tissues without PS, presumably, stimulated tumor recurrence, which was also confirmed by the differences in the recurrence rate in the 405 and 660 nm groups. Irradiation-only light exposures, in all cases, demonstrated higher recurrence rates compared to the corresponding PDT cases. Thus, the PDT processing of the tumor bed after resection could only be recommended for the cold knife treatment and not for the laser scalpel resection, where it could induce tumor recurrence.

Lechien JR, Hans S. Are new and young generations of surgeons more aware of transoral robotic surgery than older ones? An international survey. J Robot Surg 2023; 17:2065-2072. [PMID: 37204649 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-023-01619-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate adoption, perception, and awareness of otolaryngologist-head neck surgeons (OTO-HNS) toward transoral robotic surgery (TORS) according to the surgeon experience. A total of 1,383 OTO-HNS of YO-IFOS and IFOS received an online survey dedicated to the adoption, perception, and awareness toward TORS. The following outcomes were compared between residents and fellows, young/middle-aged and older OTO-HNS: awareness/perception; indications; advantages; barriers and expected improvements of TORS practice. From the 357 responders (26%), 147 participants were residents and fellows; while 105 and 105 OTO-HNS reported 10 to 19, and more than 20 years of practice. The main barriers of using TORS included the cost and the availability of robot, and the lack of training opportunity. The better view of the operative field and the shorter patient hospital stay were considered as the main advantages. Older surgeons trust more likely in TORS benefits (p = 0.001) and surgical field view advantages (p = 0.037) compared to younger participants. TORS is an important surgical minimal invasive approach for the future for 46% of residents and fellows versus 61% of older OTO-HNS (p = 0.001). Compared to older OTO-HNS, residents and fellows reported more frequently that the lack of training opportunity is the main barrier of TORS (52% versus 12%; p = 0.001). Residents and fellows did not share the same expectations of robot improvement for the future than older OTO-HNS. Experienced OTO-HNS had better perception and trust toward TORS than residents and fellows. Residents and fellows identified the lack of training opportunity as the main barrier to the use of TORS. TORS access and training programs need to be improved in academic hospitals for residents and fellows.
