[Effect analysis of surgery for treating abnormal styloid process].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between pharyngeal paraesthesia and abnormal styloid process, and to evaluate the surgery outcome. METHODS: One hundred and four patients with styloid process abnormality, especially those with pharyngeal paraesthesia were studied preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS: Among 104 patients who complained about foreign body sensation of the pharynx and a sore throat, after partial removal of styloid process, 71.2% (74/104) cured (symptoms disappeared), 12.5% (13/104) improved, while 16.3% (17/104) had no improvement. The responding rate was 83.7% (87/104). CONCLUSIONS: Not all abnormality of styloid process subjects would have pharyngeal paraesthesia, so for this kind of cases a more comprehensive analysis is necessary. Surgery via mouth is preferable.

[Thyroid cartilage flap reconstruction of cricoid in the management of subglottic carcinoma].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of conservative surgical management on patients with subglottic cancer. METHODS: Nine cases with subglottic carcinoma were treated surgically from 1984 to 1999. There were T2N0 lesions in 2 cases, T3N0-1 in 3 cases and T4N0-1 in 4 cases. All the cases underwent partial laryngectomy including partial cricoid resection. Variations of a pedicled thyroid cartilage flap were used for reconstruct the cricoid defect. The pedicle based muscle was thyrohyoid, sterno-thyroid or inferior constrictor. Unilateral neck dissection was performed on 7 cases and bilateral on two. RESULTS: The function of phonation were preserved in all cases. Eight of nine 8/9 were decanulated. Normal deglutition were achieved for all patients. The 3 and 5 year survival rates were 8/9 and 6/9, respectively. CONCLUSION: Pedicled thyroid cartilage flap is appropriate for reconstruction of the cricoid defect in the conservative surgery of selected subglottic carcinoma.
