We present the case of a not-yet-reported complication that occurred during the immediate postoperative period after supracricoid partial laryngectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an unusual, life threatening, rapidly advancing infection characterized by widespread fascial and subcutaneous tissue necrosis and gangrene of the skin.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: Hyposmia was reported by all laryngectomees and hypogeusia by 54% of patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient also suffered impairment in physiological functioning and sleepdisturbance after surgery. Postoperative delirium. The postoperative delirium was treated with an antipsychotic drug. The patient recovered well.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: There are limited treatment options beyond surgical salvage for patients who fail nonoperative treatment for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Free lodging near treatment. A 24/7/365 live helpline. Rides to treatment. This is far from a complete list, but it makes one thing clear. When it comes to cancer, we are the only organization attacking from every angle.[cancer.org]
A positive Delphian node is known to predict a poor prognosis in laryngeal cancer. To elucidate the clinical significance of positive Delphian node metastasis in supracricoid laryngectomized patients, we conducted a thorough clinical review.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Histologically positive neck was highly significantly associated with worse prognosis, much more than recurrence within larynx.[omicsonline.org]
Long term survival The prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma depends on the cancer’s stage at diagnosis and its location.[dribrook.blogspot.com]

With the help of a case report, this article highlights the etiology and management of large post-laryngectomy pharyngocutaneous fistulae.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Alcohol and tobacco have synergistic carcinogenic properties, which directly contribute to most causes of laryngeal cancer. Most laryngeal cancers have a squamous cell histopathology.[emedicine.medscape.com]
We only included observational epidemiological studies and used risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to summarize the primary risk factors associated with recurrence following laryngectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (Ries et al., 2000) reports that laryngeal cancer rates rise sharply in the fifth, sixth, and first half of the seventh decades of life (Casper and Col-ton,[flandershealth.us]
Epidemiology Frequency Laryngeal cancer is the second most common site for head and neck malignancy. In the United States, 11,000 new cases are reported annually.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The pathophysiology of this severe complication, as well as its diagnosis, management, and prevention, is discussed, together with a review of the medical scientific literature.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology Laryngeal cancer commences at the cellular level with mutations in the DNA, either from genetic or environmental factors.[emedicine.medscape.com]
