Complications and oncological outcomes after salvage surgery for recurrent and residual hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salvage surgery for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) after radiotherapy may result in several postoperative complications and the oncological outcome is unsatisfying. Therefore, identifying the risk factors for postoperative complications and oncological outcome after salvage surgery is important. This study aimed to determine which HPSCC patients might benefit from salvage surgery following previous radiotherapy.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 91 HPSCC patients who underwent salvage surgery due to locoregional recurrence/residual disease after radiotherapy. The pre- and intraoperative characteristics with complications and oncological outcomes were collected through medical records and telephone follow-up. Risk factors for complications were an
