RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The European Laryngological Society (ELS) has published a revised classification for benign laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS), based on their degree, longitudinal extension, and associated comorbidities. We retrospectively applied this classification to pediatric patients treated in four referral centers to assess its reliability in predicting surgical outcomes. METHODS: We included 191 pediatric LTS patients treated by segmental resection, restaged according to the degree of stenosis (I-IV according to Myer-Cotton grading system), number of subsites involved ("a" to "d" for 1-4 subsites among supraglottis, glottis, subglottis and trachea), and presence of systemic comorbidity ("+" sign). We analyzed the ability of this scoring system in predicting the rates of decannulation and complications, as well as the number of re-treatments. RESULTS: The mean decannulation rate was 88%; a higher rate was observed in patients without comorbidities (95.7% vs. 78.1%, p < 0.001), with two or fewer vs. three or four subsites involved (89% vs. 72%, p < 0.01), and in those with an ELS score of IIIa+ or less vs. patients with IIIb or more (96% vs. 82%, p < 0.001). Surgical complications were not dependent on the degree of stenosis, but rather on the number of affected subsites (p < 0.05), as well as on the presence of associated comorbidities (RR 7.5, p < 0.01). The number of re-treatments was dependent on length of resection (p < 0.05), stage according to the revised ELS classification (p < 0.001), and presence of surgical complications (RR 17, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The revised ELS classification system is easy to apply in everyday practice and offers a sound contribution in the decision-making process.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Summarize recent findings regarding the impact of margin status on oncologic outcomes and organ preservation, as well as evaluate possible management policies of close and positive margins after transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for Tis-T2 glottic carcinomas. RECENT FINDINGS: Impact of margin status on survival rates remains controversial, whereas some authors found close and positive margins to be independent risk factors for recurrence and poorer survival rates, others did not find any significant variations compared with negative ones. A common trend can be observed in performing a watchful waiting policy or second look TLM in patients with close-superficial and positive single-superficial margins. Further treatment seems preferable in case of deep and positive multiple superficial margins. SUMMARY: Positive margins are present in up to 50% of patients treated by TLM, even though a high rate of false positivity, reaching 80%, has been described. Close and positive single superficial margins seem to be linked to higher recurrence rates compared with negative margins, even though watchful wait and see policy, especially when performed by adjunctive visual aids like Narrow Band Imaging, maintains good final oncological and organ preservation outcomes. Further treatments are required in case of deep margin positivity.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis predominantly affects fertile and perimenopausal women. Estrogens and/or progesterone have been proposed as mediators of its pathogenesis by stimulating collagen deposition within the upper airway. We evaluated the presence and expression of estrogen-alpha (ER-α), estrogen-beta (ER-ß), and progesterone receptors (PR) in idiopathic stenotic patients. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis on 42 surgical specimens from idiopathic stenosis female patients (mean age, 52.4; age range, 31-79) and 28 gender- and age-matched controls. METHODS: Immunoreactivity of ER-α, ER-ß, and PR was calculated as the product of intensity (1 = weak, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong) and positive cell percentage (1-4, for < 10/10-50/50-80/ > 80%). This score was calculated on the stenotic and peristenotic tissues. Influence of menopausal status on hormonal expression and stenotic grade was tested. RESULTS: Stenosis showed ER-α overexpression versus peristenotic tissue and controls (score 6.6 ± 4.4, 0.3 ± 0.5, and 2.2 ± 1.5, respectively; P < 0.001). Overexpression was even more marked for progesterone receptors (score 8.3 ± 3.6, 0.8 ± 0.6, and 1.0 ± 0.7, respectively; P < 0.001). There was no expression of ER-ß in stenosis (score 0), whereas it was normally expressed in peristenotic tissue and controls (score 0.7 ± 0.5 and 0.5 ± 0.5; P < 0.001 vs. stenosis). Expression of ER-α was higher in postmenopausal stenotic patients (P < 0.01). This subgroup included a higher proportion of Cotton-Myer grade III stenosis than in premenopausal subjects (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: An imbalance between ER-α, ER-ß, and PR is present in idiopathic stenosis patients. The hormonal background may be involved in inappropriate inflammation and increased stenosis susceptibility. Menopausal changes seem to play a role in both stenosis grade and receptor patterns. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA. Laryngoscope, 128:E72-E77, 2018.
