UNASSIGNED: The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of using a hyoid osteomuscular flap to repair the laryngeal defect after extended vertical partial laryngectomy. A total of 26 glottic @entity5 @entity1 underwent reconstruction with osteomuscular hyoid flaps following @entity5 resections. Ipsilateral arytenoid cartilage was resected in all cases, and the upper region of the cricoid cartilage was resected in 11 cases. Selective ipsilateral level II, III and IV neck dissections were performed in node (N)-positive @entity1 and ipsilateral level II, and III neck dissections in N0 @entity1 . The bone grafts were then fixed to the cricoid and contralateral thyroid cartilages. Invasion of the thyroid cartilage endochorium was present in 12 cases and lymph nodes metastases was present in 11 cases. The extubation rate of the tracheostomy tube was 100%. The glottides of all @entity1 were almost symmetrical. @entity1 were followed up for 2-7 years. One @entity1 developed local recurrence, ipsilateral regional recurrence, contralateral regional recurrence and lung metastasis, respectively. The disease-free survival rates at 3 and 5 years were 100% (20/20) and 79% (11/14), respectively. Overall, laryngeal function recovered well upon hyoid osteomuscular flap reconstruction following extended vertical partial laryngectomy, with a high extubation rate and good sound quality.
