Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the experience of cervical trachea sleeve resection.
METHOD:Twelve cases of sleeve resection between January 1985 and December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Six cases were adenoid cystic carcinoma, four cases were squamous cell carcinoma, one case was adenocarcinoma and one case was cervical tracheomalacia. Length of cervical trachea resection is three to six cm with primary anastomosis, among which five cases were over five cm, seven cases underwent laryngeal release and three cases underwent subtotal thyroidectomy. Nine cases were tracheal anastomotic stoma enwrapped with normal thyroid tissue and three cases were not.
RESULT:Laryngeal function and normal phonation were saved, anastomotic stoma healed up, and the tracheal mucosa appear normal in all the patients . The three years survival rate and five years' survival rate were 85.37% and 56.61% for the patients respectively.
CONCLUSION:Cervical trachea sleeve resection accorded with the principle of tracheal tumors therapy. It was conducive to healing of the tracheal anastomosis.
