10.10\ Laryngectomy
10.10.1 Discussion
A wide variety of laryngectomy procedures can be performed, depending on the size and location of tumor within the larynx, ranging from conservative to radical. CT is often used to follow patients who underwent laryngectomy. The types of laryngectomy with their corresponding descriptions
a
b
and imaging features are depicted in Figs. 10.60, 10.61, 10.62, 10.63, 10.64, 10.65, and 10.66 and listed in Table 10.3. There is an increasing trend towards laryngeal conservation procedures in order to preserve function. Laser photoangiolysis can effectively remove tumors of the vocal cords, which can then heal with near-anatomic configuration. In addition, reconstruction of the laryngeal framework can be performed during laryngectomy using materials such as aortic grafts.
Fig. 10.61 Complex laryngectomy with aortic graft reconstruction. Axial CT image shows partial laryngectomy with soft tissue spanning the anterior tracheal cartilage defect, which represents the aortic graft (arrow)
Fig. 10.60 Angiolytic laser cordectomy. Preoperative axial CT image (a) shows a right glottic carcinoma (arrow). Postoperative axial CT image (b) shows interval resection of the mass and minimal asymmetry of the neocord

Imaging features |
Radical |
|
Total laryngectomy |
Removal of the epiglottis, |
CT shows the absence of |
|
|
|
aryepiglottic folds, true and false |
entire larynx, hyoid, |
|
|
|
vocal cords, subglottic larynx, |
variable portions of the |
|
|
|
hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, |
tracheal rings, and part or |
|
|
|
arytenoid cartilages, cricoid |
all of the thyroid glands. |
|
|
|
cartilage, and one or more |
The neopharynx appears |
|
|
|
tracheal rings. In addition, a |
as a concentric layer of |
|
|
|
partial or total thyroidectomy is |
soft tissue. Excess tissue |
|
|
|
often performed as well |
at the anastomosis can |
|
|
|
|
resemble the epiglottis |
|
|
|
|
(“pseudoepiglottis”). A |
|
|
|
|
tracheostomy is invariably |
|
|
|
|
present |
|
|

|
Pharyngolaryngectomy |
In addition to total laryngectomy, |
The flap or graft material |
|
|
|
there is more extensive resection |
that spans the surgical |
|
|
|
of the pharynx, such that primary |
defect can be visualized, |

|
anastomosis between the |
connecting the esophagus |

esophagus and remaining |
inferiorly with the |
|
|
|
portions of the pharynx is not |
remaining pharyngeal |

feasible. Rather, flap or graft |
mucosal tissue superiorly. |
|
|
|
reconstruction is performed to |
The graft has a tubular |

configuration that forms a |
|
|
|
|
lumen (neopharynx). A |
|
|
|
|
tracheostomy is also present |
Complications following laryngectomy include mass-like formations of granulation tissue, which can mimic tumor recurrence (Fig. 10.67); infection, which can lead to the carotid artery blow out (Fig. 10.68); tumor recurrence, which can be associated with development of pharyngocutaneous fistula (Fig. 10.69), particularly with concomitant radiation therapy; and laryngoceles in the setting of laryngeal framework conservation surgery (Fig. 10.70).

well as radiation therapy. There is also an outpouching (arrows) at the right carotid bulb, compatible with pseudoaneurysm
