Clinical Trial Summary

Multicenter retrospective study of a cohort of patients affected by laryngeal carcinoma and subjected to total laryngectomy surgery at the centers participating in the reference period and responding to inclusion criteria.

Description:

Evaluate the relative weight of each factor pre-operative risk, in order to build a score (fistula-score) to be able to stratify before surgery surgical total laryngectomy patients in low-risk and high-risk PCF pharyngocutaneous fistula.

Analyze and process data relating to a total of approximately 500 patients underwent, consecutively, total laryngectomy for malignant neoplasm of the larynx

The results obtained from the present study will allow patients to be stratified into low and high risk for PCF to undergo total laryngectomy, so as to reduce this surgical complication
