OBJECTIVES: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of laryngeal framework reconstruction using titanium mesh in patients with glottic cancer after frontolateral vertical partial laryngectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. METHODS: Defect of laryngeal framework, caused by frontolateral vertical partial laryngectomy in nine patients with T2 or T3 squamous cell carcinoma of glottic, were reconstructed with titanium mesh from 2007 to 2009. Computed tomography (CT) and fiberscopic examinations were performed at two weeks and three months postoperatively. RESULTS: No aspiration and laryngeal stenosis was observed in the nine patients. CT scanning showed that titanium mesh was fastened well without displacement and deformity and that there was no laryngeal stenosis. Fiberscopic inspection showed that the larynx lumen was maintained well without stricture, shrinkage, and necrosis. No titanium mesh was exposed to the larynx lumen. CONCLUSIONS: Titanium mesh was a good alternative for reconstruction of the laryngeal framework. It provided adequate structural support to maintain airway patency. |
