Abstract:
Objective:To explore the safety, effectiveness, and short-term outcomes of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for supraglottic laryngeal cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer who underwent TORS at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2018 and April 2024. Data on operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, perioperative tracheostomy, nasogastric feeding, complications, and short-term follow-up were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using Python.Results:A total of 27 patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer were included from the four centers, including 24 males and 3 females, with a median age of 66 (65, 68) years [ M( Q1, Q3), same below]. There were 26 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 1 case of adenoid cystic carcinoma.The TNM staging included T1 in 10 cases (37.04%), T2 in 13 cases (48.15%), and T3 in 4 cases (14.81%); N0 in 14 cases (51.85%), N1 in 7 cases (25.93%), and N2 in 6 cases (22.22%). The Da Vinci Si system was used in 23 cases, and the Da Vinci Xi in 4 cases. The robotic surgical time was 53 (30, 58) min. Concurrent neck dissection was performed in 25 cases, neoadjuvant therapy was given preoperatively in 8 cases (29.63%), and postoperative radiotherapy was administered in 13 cases (48.15%). Tracheostomy was performed in 11 cases (40.74%). Nasogastric tube placement was required in 23 cases (85.19%), with a median duration of 16 (12, 21) days. The postoperative hospital stay was 9.19±4.07 days. The median follow-up time was 12 (3, 30) months. Local recurrence occurred in 2 cases. The 3-year overall survival rate was 100%, and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 94.1%. Conclusion:With appropriate patient selection, TORS for supraglottic laryngeal cancer demonstrates satisfactory short-term outcomes, thereby offering advantages in safety, efficacy, and minimal invasiveness, which can be considered a new treatment option for this condition.
