lateral Pharyngotomy for selected invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral oropharynx part i how
Laryngoscope, 2013Co-Authors: Ollivier Laccourreye, Dominique Garcia, Madeleine Ménard, Jose Benito, David Malinvaud, Christopher HolsingerAbstract:Objectives/Hypothesis To revisit the surgical technique of lateral Pharyngotomy in patients with selected, isolated, and untreated invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral oropharynx. To describe postoperative management, complications, and functional outcomes. Study Design Retrospective review from a French university teaching hospital. Methods Ninety-one patients consecutively underwent lateral Pharyngotomy for selected T1–T4 squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral oropharynx. Results Of the patients, 73.6% and 98.9% experienced an uncomplicated surgical and medical postoperative course, respectively. There were no intraoperative deaths, but a single patient died in the immediate postoperative period from carotid rupture following salivary oropharyngeal fistula. The most common significant complications were severe postoperative swallowing impairment, pneumonia from aspiration, and salivary oropharyngeal fistula noted in 6.5%, 4.3%, and 4.3% of cases, respectively. In univariate analysis, none of the variables under analysis was related to the various significant complications noted and/or to immediate postoperative death. No patient had a permanent tracheotomy, whereas one had a permanent gastrostomy. Of the patients in whom a full course of radiation therapy was delivered postoperatively, 13.6% developed a major complication. Conclusions From a functional point of view, lateral Pharyngotomy is a safe, reliable surgery with few major complications and might be considered a valuable alternative to chemoradiation and/or mandibulotomy for selected tumors of the lateral oropharynx.

Resection of selected invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus by means of the lateral Pharyngotomy approach: the partial lateral pharyngectomy.
Head & neck, 2006Co-Authors: F. Christopher Holsinger, Mehdi Motamed, Dominique Garcia, Daniel Brasnu, Madeleine Ménard, Ollivier LaccourreyeAbstract:Background. Although the lateral Pharyngotomy is a well-known surgical procedure, to our knowledge, no pub- lished reports have described the results achieved with a lateral pharyngectomy approach in patients with isolated and previ- ously untreated selected invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral wall of the pyriform sinus. Methods. The medical files and operative charts of 30 patients with an isolated, and previously untreated, squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus, treated for cure by lateral partial pharyngectomy and primary closure, as well as postoper- ative radiotherapy (n ¼ 22), and preoperative chemotherapy (n ¼ 8), were retrospectively studied. Sixteen tumors were clas- sified as T1 and 14 as T2. All patients but one were followed until death. Results. Three patients (9%) died in the immediate postoper- ative period (two from medical complications and one from a surgery-related complication). Overall, 29 patients died, result- ing in a 77.7%, 40%, 23.3%, and 15% 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival estimate, respectively. Only one patient had a serious postoperative complication develop. All patients were decannulated. No patients required a gastrostomy and/or completion total laryngectomy for functional reasons. Local recurrence occurred in four patients (13%). The 3- and 5- year Kaplan-Meier actuarial local control estimates were 88.5% and 79.6%, respectively. The use of a platin-based induction chemotherapy (p ¼ .05) regimen was the only variable that was significantly statistically related to local recurrence. Overall, a 93.3% laryngeal preservation rate was achieved. Conclusion. Partial pharyngectomy by means of the lateral Pharyngotomy combined with postoperative radiation therapy is an efficient and function-sparing approach to control selected invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the lateral wall of the pyriform sinus.

Jan Mikulicz-Radecki (1850-1905): pioneer of endoscopy and surgery of the sinuses, throat, and digestive tract.
World journal of surgery, 2004Co-Authors: Jerzy Kuczkowski, Waldemar Narozny, Czesław Stankiewicz, Andrzej Kopacz, Boguslaw Mikaszewski, Kamil DrucisAbstract:The authors described the medical achievements of Jan Antoni Mikulicz-Radecki—–a famous surgeon and laryngologist of Polish origin, belonging to the Viennese surgical school of Prof. Theodor Billroth at the turn of the 20th century. His scientific and clinical activity in Vienna, Cracow, Konigsberg, and Wroclaw resulted in 232 publications and several new surgical methods. He changed the opinion on scleroma and described benign lymphoepithelial lesions. He was one of the authors of modern aseptics, antisepsis in surgery, and is regarded as a pioneer of endoscopic procedures. He was interested mainly in thoracic surgery, surgery of the abdomen, orthopedics, and laryngology. Mikulicz was the first to describe the method of surgical treatment of the maxillary sinus, osteoplastic surgery of the nose, esophagoscopy, and lateral Pharyngotomy in tonsil carcinoma. Prof. Mikulicz was the first to perform thoracic surgery; he performed the first pyloroplasty, the first partial esophagectomy and gave rise to antiseptic procedures and general surgical management. He described many modifications of surgical operations and he constructed the esophagoscope, scoliozymeter, and many other useful surgical devices.

MISCELLANEOUS Jan Mikulicz-Radecki (1850–1905): a fundamental contributor to world surgery; surgeon of the head, neck, and esophagus
2016Co-Authors: Jerzy Kuczkowski, Czesław Stankiewicz, Łukasz PlichtaAbstract:Abstract We present some of many valuable and unique achievements of Jan Mikulicz-Radecki with special regard to his contribution to laryngology. He constructed esophagogastroscope, and was one of the first to perform endoscopy of esophagus and ventricle. He published several papers describing new approaches to maxillary sinus through inferior meatus, surgical management of tonsillar cancer via lateral Pharyngotomy, correction of post-trau-matic nasal deformations, and the use of iodophorm in healing wounds. Among Mikulicz’s many celebrated sci-entific achievements, the most important remains the development of asepsis and creation of a surgical school, which was a modernized continuation of Langenbeck– Billroth achievements
