This study evaluates and compares the functional and oncological outcomes of open partial laryngectomy (OPL) and transoral laser surgery (TLS) for supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma.
Included patients undergoing OPL or TLS from January 2012 to March 2017 with at least 36 months follow-up
Compared functional parameters and oncological outcomes using statistical tests including t-test and Kaplan-Meier method
Sample size consisted of 50 patients (31 OPL, 19 TLS)
TLS patients had shorter hospitalization periods, required less tracheotomy, and transitioned to oral feeding earlier than OPL patients
No significant differences in voice outcomes or overall/disease-specific survival rates between OPL and TLS groups
Both groups showed comparable organ preservation effects in supraglottic laryngeal cancer.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Randomized trial compares open partial laryngectomy and transoral laser surgery in supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma, suggesting TLS may offer better functional benefits.
