Abstract

Total laryngectomy is a well established method for the treatment of laryngeal cancer. In some cases such as elderly patients or patients with severe complications, a shorter surgical time is preferred. Total laryngectomy using a linear stapler is reportedly advantageous for shortening of the surgical time and for lowering the rate of pharyngeal fistula formation.<br> We applied this surgical technique in three laryngeal cancer cases. After skeletonization of the larynx, the linear stapler is inserted between the larynx and the pharyngeal mucosa. Excision of the larynx and suturing of the pharyngeal mucosa are performed simultaneously. Although the number of cases is small for statistical analysis, the surgical time was shortened by about 30 minutes compared to laryngectomy with manual suturing. Total laryngectomy by linear stapler cannot be applied in all cases of advanced laryngeal cancer. However, if the tumor is confined to the endolarynx, it is a useful tool for some cases that require a shorter surgical time.
