Abstract

The aims of the present study were to review the experience of different surgical reconstruction methods for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) and compared the survival of patients with and without laryngeal function (LF) preservation. The clinical characteristics of 580 patients were retrospectively obtained and analyzed. Survival curves were analyzed using the Kaplan‑Meier method for survival and Cox models for hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). LF was preserved in 403 cases and not preserved in 177 cases. The 3‑ and 5‑year survival rates were 70.9 and 52.7%, respectively, in the LF preservation group and 48.4 and 30.5%, respectively, in the no LF preservation group. Compared with the patients without LF preservation, patients with LF preservation had a significantly reduced risk of overall death (HR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.50-0.80). LF preservation positively affects the prognosis of patients with HSCC.
