RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess individual preference, symptoms and compliance between habitual use of Provox XtraFlow and the combination of Provox XtraFlow during the day and Provox Luna during the night for heat and moisture exchanger therapy in laryngectomised patients. METHOD: This was an open, randomised, crossover trial for 25 days. After this first study period and a 5-day wash-out period, treatments were switched for another 25 days. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients were enrolled. Differences were found (p = 0.009) in the incidence of dermatological problems with XtraFlow (46.4 per cent) versus Provox Luna (14.3 per cent), as well as in the need to abandon the use of adhesives (46.4 per cent vs 10.7 per cent; p = 0.003). A total of 60.7 per cent of the patients preferred the Provox Luna system as their preference for heat and moisture exchanger therapy. CONCLUSION: The Provox Luna system is a viable additive to heat and moisture exchanger therapy, especially in the setting of compliance concerns and in patients who desire dermatological relief overnight.

RESUMEN

Benign symmetrical lipomatosis (BSL) is a rare disorder characterized by diffuse, multiple, symmetric and non-encapsulated fat masses generally localized in the face, neck and upper trunk. An uncommon case of lingual affliction in BSL, presented with macroglossia, sleep apnea, dysphagia and dysartria is described. Bilateral partial glossectomy was performed, with an improvement in initial symptoms one year after surgery. Only seven other BSL cases with lingual involvement have been reported in the literature. This case report and literature review highlights that BSL with lingual affliction is extremely rare, almost exclusive for BSL Type I and affects predominantly middle-aged males from Mediterranean countries. Surgical treatment with unilateral or bilateral partial glossectomy usually restores normal tongue function, but most be accompanied with a postoperative follow up to assure that recurrence does not occur.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Analizar supervivencia, recidiva local, regional, a distancia y segundos primarios en estadios IV de laringe tratados con cirugía y radioterapia. Material: Estudio retrospectivo de 147 pacientes tratados con cirugía ± radioterapia, con un seguimiento mínimo de 5 años. Resultados: Supervivencia global y causa específica a 5 y 10 años de 42%, 35% y 49%, 45,8% respectivamente. Control locoregional del 57,7 % y 54,7% a los 5 y 10 años. Recidivas locales 25,7%, recidivas regionales 74,2%, y metástasis a distancia 10,9%. Segundos primarios 12%, el 50% en pulmón. Se analizan factores que pueden influir en la supervivencia. Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia, la cirugía, con radioterapia complementaria en N+, permite curar un 45% de los estadios IV de laringe. La recidiva regional es la causa más frecuente de fracaso, influida por el N+, apareciendo en los primeros 36 meses de evolución


Objective: To determine the survival, loco-regional control, distant metastases and second primary in stage IV laryngeal carcinoma treated by surgery and radiotherapy. Material: Retrospective study of 147 patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy with a 5 year minimun follow-up. Results: Overall and cause specific survival at 5 and 10 years was 42%, 35% and 49%, 45.8% respectively. Loco-regional control was 57.7 % and 54.7% at 5 and 10 years. Local recurrences presented in 25.7%, regional recurrences in 74.2%, and distant metastases 10.9%. Second primary tumors developed in 12% of the patients, 50% of the cases in the lungs. Factors related to survival are evaluated. Conclusions: In our experience, surgery with postoperative radiotherapy in N+, controls 45% of stage IV laryngeal carcinoma. Regional recurrencies are the main cause of failure, more frequent in N+ patientes, present in the first 36 months after treatment

RESUMEN

Deep neck infections are dangerous for its potential ease to fascial spread, sepsis, and upper airway obstruction. This article reviews 77 cases of deep cervical infection, focus on etiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects. The most frequent location was the submaxillary area (29%), followed by the parapharyngeal space (28%), floor of the mouth (27%) and retropharyngeal (14%) spaces. Etiology was dental in 32%; pharyngoamigdalar infection in 27%; foreign bodies in 13%. In 22% the cause is unknown. Two or more bacteria were isolated in 72%, with Streptococcus B haemolytic being the most frequent germ. All patients were treated with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics. Surgical drainage was needed in 54%, and tracheotomy in 18%. Four patients developed mediastinitis, and one died as a consequence of it. The incidence of deep neck infections has decreased after the itroduction of antibiotics but they still may be lethal especially when life-threatening complications occur. Early recognition and management are necessary.

RESUMEN

Las infecciones cervicales profundas (ICP) pueden producir diseminación fascial, sepsis y compromiso de la vía aérea. Analizamos 77 pacientes con ICP, tratados entre 1990 y 2005 desde los puntos de vista etiológico, clínico y terapéutico. El 29% se localizó en el espacio submandibular, 28% en el espacio parafaríngeo, 27% en suelo de boca y 14% en el espacio retrofaríngeo. La causa fue dentaria en el 32%, infección faríngoamigdalar en el 27%; e impactación de cuerpo extraño esofágico en el 13%. En el 22% no se objetivó causa alguna. Se aislaron dos o más gérmenes en el material purulento, siendo del Streptococcus B- haemolytico el germen más frecuentemente aislado. Fue necesario el drenaje quirúrgico en el 54% de los casos, con traqueotomía en el 18% de los casos. Cuatro pacientes desarrollaron una mediastinitis, falleciendo uno de ellos. A pesar de la disminución de la incidencia de las infecciones cervicales profundas, estas todavía tienen gran importancia por su morbimortalidad, por lo que precisan de un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, dirigido a gérmenes de la cavidad oral fundamentalmente, pues es la patología dentaria la más frecuentemente implicada en las mismas

RESUMEN

The Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thyroidectomy, described by P. Miccoli in 1998, is a safe and feasible procedure, for the surgical treatment of thyroid nodules of less than 3.5 centimeters. After our first 11 cases, we conclude that only a large experience with the technique will reduce the operating time and the percentage of conversions into a conventional technique. But, as soon as it is possible to succeed already in the first procedures, the benefits of a good cosmetic result and less postoperative pain are evident since the beginning of the learning curve.

RESUMEN

La Tiroidectomía Video-Asistida Mínimamente Invasiva, descrita por P. Miccoli en 1998, es un procedimiento seguro y reproducible para el tratamiento quirúrgico de nódulos tiroideos de menos de 3,5 cm. Después de los11 primeros casos, concluimos que sólo una gran experiencia con la técnica permite reducir los tiempos quirúrgicos y el porcentaje de conversiones a la técnica convencional. Pero ya que es posible concluir casos con éxito desde las primeras intervenciones, los beneficios de un buen resultado cosmético y un menor dolor postoperatorio son evidentes desde el principio de la curva de aprendizaje (AU)

RESUMEN

The objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the anatomical distribution of a topical liquid nasal gel in patients with and without rhinitis using a metered dose nasal pump, and 2) to determine whether the distribution pattern is influenced by dosage and delivery technique. Thirty-nine volunteers were evaluated, 26 without nasal inflammation and 13 with rhinitis. Patients self-administered the nasal spray according to the specifications in one fossa and incorrectly in the other one (sniffing and double doses). The findings showed that the nasal gel delivered by spray did not penetrate beyond the inferior part of the middle turbinate, regardless of delivery technique (double dose with sniffing or single dose without sniffing) and the presence or absence of inflammation.

RESUMEN

Los objetivos de este estudio son: 1) valorar el patrón de distribución anatómica de un gel tópico liberado en la cavidad nasal en pacientes con y sin inflamación nasal y 2) determinar si esta distribución se ve influida por la dosis o la técnica de liberación. Se estudiaron 39, 26 sin inflamación y 13 con inflamación nasal, que se administraron un gel teñido de forma diferente en cada fosa. En una de forma adecuada y el la otra de forma inadecuada y con dosis doble. Los hallazgos mostraron que el gel administrado no sobrepasa de la porción inferior del cornete medio, ni llega a la mucosa olfatoria, independientemente del modo de administración o el estado de la mucosa

RESUMEN

A retrospective study of 142 patients that had previous surgery for carcinoma of the tongue or floor of mouth looking into the factors that affect significantly the evolution of our patients and in which circumstances we could benefit from new therapeutic techniques. Cause specific survival at 3 and 5 years was 63.4% and 56.9% respectively. Recurrences were found locally in 32 patients (22.5%), regional in 32 (22.5%) and metastasis in 11 (7.4%). T staging had no did impact on local recurrence, but the presence of positive margins (p = 0.0323). Regional control for N0/N1 was 85% (90/106) versus 55.5% (20/36) for N2/N3 (p = 0.001). Regional control by N staging was 84.5% (73/86) for N0, 85% (17/20) for N1, 57% (30/35) for N2 and 0% for N3 (0/1). Both, N staging and number of positive nodes had a significant impact in specific survival. Positive margins and the presence of positive nodes have the greatest impact on survival and regional control. Adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy did not increase survival, but not prospective random selection was performed. To evaluate this.

RESUMEN

Hemos realizado un estudio retrospectivo de 142 pacientes intervenidos de carcinoma de lengua móvil o suelo de boca buscando qué factores afectan de forma significativa la evolución de nuestros pacientes y en qué circunstancias podríamos beneficiarnos de nuevas modalidades terapéuticas. La supervivencia causa específica a 3 y 5 años fue de 63,4 por ciento y 56,9 por ciento respectivamente. Se detectó una recidiva local en 32 pacientes (22,5 por ciento), regional en 32 (22,5 por ciento) y a distancia en 11 (7,4 por ciento). No se ha encontrado influencia del T en la incidencia de recidiva local pero sí lo tiene la presencia de márgenes positivos (p=0,0323). El control regional en N0/N1 fue de un 85 por ciento (90/106) frente a un 55,5 por ciento (20/36) en los N2/N3 (p=0,001). El control regional, especificado por estadio N fue de 84,5 por ciento (73/86) en los N0, 85 por ciento (17/20) en los N1, 57 por ciento (30/35) para los N2 y 0 por ciento para los N3 (0/1). Tanto el estadio N como el número de ganglios mostró una significativa repercusión en la supervivencia específica. En nuestra experiencia los factores que mayor impacto tienen en el control del cáncer de cavidad oral y suelo de boca son la presencia de bordes quirúrgicos infiltrados y el estado del cuello. El empleo de radioterapia adyuvante no implicó un incremento en la supervivencia, si bien no se hicieron grupos aleatorios para su valoración (AU)

RESUMEN

Respiratory symptoms after total laryngectomy are both frequent and troublesome. Previous studies have demonstrated the positive effect of a heat and moisture exchanger (MHE) on the respiratory system in patients after total laryngectomy. In the present study we analyze the opinion of 40 total laryngectomized patients regarding the use of the MHE-Provox Stomafilter kit. Focus has been directed to speech function parameters and pulmonary symptoms. Benefits in phonatory parameters--intelligibility, fluency, pressure and telephone intelligibility, have been over 70%. Reduction in pulmonary symptoms--coughing, sputum production, forced expectoration, stoma cleaning--have also been significant. Our results support the use of MHE Provox Stomafilter for minimizing and preventing respiratory problems and increasing the quality of the voice through the tracheoesophageal puncture system.

RESUMEN

Los problemas respiratorios tras una laringuectomía total son frecuentes. Estudios recientes han puesto de manifiesto la utilidad de los sistemas que permiten el intercambio de calor y humedad (HME) en los pacientes laringuectomizados. En el presente estudio analizamos la opinión de 40 pacientes laringuectomizados a los que se les ha suministrado el HME-Provox® Stomafilter. La investigación se ha centrado en parámetros vocales y de función respiratoria. Los resultados han puesto de manifiesto que los pacientes refieren beneficios fonatorios en más de un 70 por ciento de los casos. De igual modo se obtiene una reducción en los síntomas pulmonares en más de un 80 por ciento de los pacientes. Estos resultados apoyan el uso de los intercambiadores de calor y humedad para reducir y prevenir los problemas respiratorios y aumentar la eficacia de la rehabilitación vocal mendiante las fístulas traqueoesofágicas (AU)

RESUMEN

Near-total laryngectomy (NTL) produces good functional and oncological results that are reproducible in different institutions. It is an alternative to total laryngectomy in patients with laryngeal or hypopharyngeal tumors who meet selected criteria. This study analyzed 245 patients treated with NTL in three different institutions. Functional and oncological results were remarkably consistent between the institutions. Local control in previously untreated patients was 98%. A useful voice was obtained in 80% of patients and voice quality was better than that obtained with tracheoesophageal puncture and a voice prosthesis. NTL was not recommended for salvage surgery after radiation failure because recurrences occur in up to 20% of patients.

RESUMEN

With improved loco-regional control of cancer of the head and neck, second primary tumors (SPT) have an increasingly negative impact on survival. The appearance of SPT depends on the location and extension of the primary and is associated with lower survival. SPT were studied in a series of 1493 previously untreated patients with carcinoma of the head and neck and a minimum follow-up of 2 years. SPT occurred in 6.3% (96/1493). SPT were associated with the following primary tumor sites: 10.8% (57/727) larynx, 4% (6/153) hypopharynx, 4% (16/404) oral cavity, and 4% (6/153) oropharynx. Forty-three percent (42.7%) of SPT were carcinomas of the head and neck, 27% bronchogenic carcinomas, and 17.7% esophageal carcinomas. Survival at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years of patients diagnosed as SPT was 62%, 43%, 21%, and 16%, respectively.

RESUMEN

La utilidad de una determinada técnica viene definida por los resultados obtenidos así como por la capacidad de que esos resultados puedan ser repetidos por diferentes equipos. La laringuectomía casi total (LCT) es una técnica útil para el tratamiento de cáncer de laringe e hipofaringe que cumpla unos determinados requisitos. Este estudio, 245 pacientes, agrupa la experiencia acumulada con la utilización de la LCT en tres centros diferentes. Los resultados funcionales y oncológicos obtenidos en cada una de ellas son superponibles, con un control local del 98 por ciento en pacientes previamente no tratados. El 80 por ciento de los pacientes obtienen una voz útil, cuya calidad es superior a la obtenida mediante punción traqueoesofágica y prótesis fonatoria. La LCT no debe ser utilizada como técnica de rescate para el tratamiento de recidivas postradioterapia ya que el índice de recidiva local ronda el 20 por ciento (AU)

RESUMEN

Con la mejora en el control loco-regional del cáncer de cabeza y cuello la aparición de los segundos tumores primarios (STP) es un factor que condiciona el incremento de la supervivencia. Presentamos los STP que aparecieron en una serie de 1.493 pacientes con carcinomas de cabeza y cuello, con un seguimiento mínimo de 3 años. El índice de STP fue del 6,3 por ciento (9611.493). La localización del tumor primario que más se asoció con la aparición de un STP fue la laringe con un 10,8 por ciento (571727), seguido de la hipofaringe 4 por ciento (61153), cavidad oral 4 por ciento (161404) y orofaringe 4 por ciento (61153). El 42,7 por ciento de los STP *correspondieron a carcinomas de cabeza y cuello, un 27 por ciento a carcinomas bronquiogénicos y un 17,7 por ciento a carcinomas de esófago. La tasa de supervivencia a los 6 meses, 1 año, 3 años y 5 años de diagnosticado el STP fue de 62 por ciento, 43 por ciento, 21 por ciento y 16 por ciento, respectivamente (AU)

RESUMEN

Outpatient surgery is an activity that increases constantly in Otolaryngology. There are studies about some nasal surgery techniques, such as septoplasty or endonasal endoscopic performed as outpatient surgery, but so far nobody has reported any comparative analysis on the results of outpatient septorhinoplasty, although this is a frequent practice. We report our experience with 40 cases of outpatient septoplasty and 40 outpatient septorhinoplasty, performed by the same surgeon, and we make a comparative study with the same number of operations performed on in-patients with traditional surgical techniques. Aesthetic and functional results and satisfaction level in postoperative interviews were compared in both cases. No serious complications were present in either group. The number of complications, the functional and aesthetic results and the degree of patients satisfaction were similar in both groups. Septopyramidal surgery (septoplasty and septorhinoplasty) is suitable to be performed on outpatient with the same quality as in-patients.

RESUMEN

A series of 84 patients who underwent horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy between 1980 and 1995 were analyzed. All patients were men, mean age 56 years. Neck metastases were found in 37 patients; 17 patients had stage I disease, 22 stage II, 13 stage III and 32 stage IV. One patient died in the postoperative period. Pharyngocutaneous fistula was the most frequent complication, being present in 10.7% of patients. The 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 78.9 and 74.2%, respectively. Local control was 91.6% at 3-years and 90.4% at 5-years. Local recurrences occurred in 6 patients, all of whom were salvaged by total laryngectomy and radiotherapy. Neck failure occurred in 15 patients, 2 of who were salvaged with further treatment. Second primary tumors appeared in 10 patients, 30% in the head and neck, after a mean interval of 77 months.

RESUMEN

The quality of life of patients who underwent surgery for cancer of the larynx was analyzed. Two groups of patients were separated by the type of surgical intervention: functional surgery (supraglottic, 19 patients, and cordectomy, 11 patients) and radical surgery (total laryngectomy, 69 patients, and near-total laryngectomy, 12 patients). The Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale- Self Report (PAIS-SR) was used for evaluation. No statistically significant differences in overall adjustment were found between groups. Patients did not consider the permanent stoma and voice loss to be the most important determinant of quality of life. Lack of social and family support was the most important negative factor affecting patients. The need for support groups and additional studies of quality of life to identify potential problems areas for the postoperative adjustment of patients to normal life should be addressed.
