Partial laryngectomy after radiation failure.

Of patients given radiation therapy as primary treatment for limited carcinoma of the larynx, 15-32% will not be cured by this modality. The recurrent tumor and primary site can be encompassed with a partial laryngectomy in a certain number of these individuals. This report reviews the subject of partial laryngectomy after radiation failure and reports experience with 18 patients who had partial laryngectomies to control recurrent or persistent carcinoma after full dose radiation therapy. Four patients had biopsy cures. Local tumor control was achieved by partial laryngectomy in 10 of 14 patients. Three of 4 partial failures were salvaged with total laryngectomy. Major wound complications were noted in 4 patients. Prolonged healing was observed in most patients. Prognosis is probably as good with partial laryngectomy as with total laryngectomy.

Facial nerve function in 100 consecutive parotidectomies.

The risk of facial nerve paresis after parotidectomy is thought to be within acceptable limits, although it is difficult to find published data regarding the specific magnitude of this risk. This study reviews the subject and reports postoperative facial function in 100 consecutive patients who had parotidectomies at the Henry Ford Hospital during a 9-year period. Permanent weakness of a major branch was identified in 2 of 77 patients having lateral lobectomy for parotid disease. Both patients demonstrated marginal mandibular paresis after surgery for adenolymphoma. No weakness was noted in 16 patients undergoing total parotidectomy. No unanticipated nerve disability was noted in 4 patients having partial nerve sacrifice in extended procedures; 3 patients had complete sacrifice of the nerve.
