Implication

Case series demonstrates radical superior mediastinal dissection with tracheal repositioning in post-laryngectomy recurrent stomal cancer, suggesting feasibility for advanced subglottic lesions.

Key Points

To describe a surgical technique for radical superior mediastinal dissection and tracheal repositioning designed to treat recurrent cancer following laryngectomy.
Detailed a radical superior mediastinal dissection technique that repositions the trachea to isolate and shield it from the great vessels.
Evaluated the surgical procedure in a case series of six patients (N=6) presenting with recurrent stomal cancer after laryngectomy.
Achieved successful superior mediastinal resections and tracheal repositioning without great vessel injury across all six cases of recurrent stomal malignancy.
Confirmed the clinical feasibility of adapting this radical dissection technique to achieve local disease control and potential cure in advanced subglottic lesions.
