ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery (ELPS) was developed for superficial pharyngeal cancers in Japan. In this study, we present our results of ELPS for superficial pharyngeal cancers.METHODS:
From November 2009 to December 2015, 258 patients with superficial pharyngeal cancers underwent ELPS. Results, including survival rates, postoperative complications, and vocal function, are reviewed.RESULTS:
The median follow-up period of 258 patients was 31 months. The overall and cause-specific survival rates over 3 years were 85.7% and 100%, respectively. Only 3 patients incurred local recurrences and were successfully salvaged by re-ELPS. Regarding postoperative complications, 4 patients required reoperation because of postoperative bleeding. As for the postoperative quality of life, no patients developed vocal fold paralysis. Every patient was able to consume meals at preoperative levels.CONCLUSION:
ELPS is a feasible and minimally invasive treatment for superficial pharyngeal cancers with impressive quality of life results.Palavras-chave
