conservative surgery and exclusive radiation an effective course of treatment for transglottic tumors. According to their retrospective study, temporary or permanent tracheostomy stands among the most frequent complications in patients undergoing vocal conservation surgery followed by irradiation or not. The need for permanent tracheostomy is also an important prognostic factor in 5-year survival [17].
Pretreatment tracheostomy has been related to a higher risk of stomal recurrence and a poor prognosis [17]. Nevertheless, Modlin and Ogura found no difference in stomal recurrence between patients who did and those who did not undergo pre­treatment tracheostomy [18].
Organ preservation, an evolution in advanced laryngeal cancer treatment, originated from the Veteran Affairs study in 1991 and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 91-11 study in 2003, which determined primary chemoradiation as being standard treat­ment for advanced tumors. Its use imposed an increase in functional complications and a decrease in overall survival in older patients and those with T4 disease [19]. According to O’Neill etal., 19% of patients who underwent total laryngectomy and 22% of patients who underwent organ preservation had a tracheostomy prior to treatment.
Jefferson etal. demonstrated that persistent tracheostomy was associated with pretreatment tracheostomy, subglottic tumor extension, three-dimensional confor­mal radiotherapy, and postradiotherapy cervical lymphadenectomy in larynx prima­ries, and pretreatment tracheostomy and feeding tube dependency in hypopharynx primaries. Tracheostomy was not associated with worse local control. Furthermore, organ preservation may not restore prelaryngeal decits. Normally these reports assess swallowing—not airway—impairment and factors associated with tracheos­tomy dependence [20].

Organ preservation is indicated not only for laryngeal cancers but also for laryn­gopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.
Tracheostomy inOrgan Preservation Laryngeal Surgery
Organ preservation laryngeal surgery is a procedure encompassing partial laryngeal removal and functional preservation (speech, swallowing, and respiration), with local control and cure and without the need for a permanent tracheostomy [21]. The aim is to preserve airow through the larynx and laryngeal sphincter function, pre­venting the need for a permanent tracheostomy [22].

Vertical Partial Laryngectomy

Vertical partial laryngectomy stands for a range of procedures, from cordectomy to extended hemilaryngectomy. The extent of surgery determines whether tracheos­tomy is necessary.

Horizontal Partial Laryngectomy

Supraglottic Laryngectomy
In this technique, described by Alonso in 1939, tracheostomy is part of the surgical procedure and the aim is to perform decannulation as soon as possible, with safety. The technique is executed with the concern being to avoid anastomosis tension, in the same fashion as supracricoid laryngectomy (Fig.13).
Supracricoid Laryngectomy
Supracricoid laryngectomy was rst described as an organ preservation surgery technique aimed at achieving functional and oncological results; therefore, the need for a permanent tracheostomy is avoided. A temporary tracheostomy is mandatory. The trachea must be released inferiorly (cervicomediastinally), avoiding recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Tracheostomy should be performed as distal from cricoid as possible, since the anastomosis (cricohyoidoepiglottopexy [CHEP] or cricohyoido­pexy [CHP]) should bear no tension. Complications such as aspiration and pneumo­nia are causes of failed decannulation [21].
The cricoarytenoid unit is a functional laryngeal structure after supracricoid lar­yngectomy. Normally, patients bearing two arytenoids accomplish earlier decan­nulation than patients undergoing one arytenoid resection and may accomplish better functional results [2124]. Postoperative radiotherapy normally imposes lon­ger and more arduous rehabilitation regarding functional results [22]. The protocol for decannulation varies according to institutional practice. All patients undergo

progressive decannulation with downsizing of the tracheostomy tube, applying a cufess tracheostomy tube and capping the tracheostomy tube, with laryngoscopy control [22, 23, 25] (Figs.14 and 15).
Near-Total Laryngectomy
This technique, described by Pearson in 1980, is indicated for patients with advanced laryngeal–hypopharyngeal tumors restricted to one side of the larynx–hypophar­ynx. A shunt between the trachea and pharynx is created through neopharynx clo­sure, and tracheostomy is paramount. The intrinsic laryngeal musculature with ipsilateral nerve preservation controls the shunt, pumping air from the lung to the pharynx. There is no need to perform tracheostomy as distal from cricoid as pos­sbile. The procedure gives the patient a physiological voice at the expense of requir­ing a permanent tracheostomy [26, 27] (Figs.16 and 17).

Endoscopic Technique
Normally, the endoscopic technique obviates the need for a tracheostomy.

Total Laryngectomy

Patients have to live with a permanent tracheostomy when total laryngectomy is performed. The indications for tracheostomy prior to oncological surgical treat­ment are due to airway blockage by tumor growth and/or laryngeal edema, as clari­ed before in the indications in oncological patients. Care should be taken to avoid tumor violation and spillage concerning subglottic laryngeal lesions and not to perform tracheostomy so distal from cricoid preventing tensionless stoma matura­tion to the skin.

Questionnaires (Quality ofLife)
Questionnaires are used to assess the patient’s quality of life. There are several questionnaires available, and they represent a tool for subjective assessment from the patient’s perspective. These questionnaires are not necessarily head and neck cancer specic but may evaluate language, speech, and communication. The World Health Organization’s International Classication of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), issued in 2001; the Voice Handicap Index; and the North American questionnaires Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy and University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire are some examples. Undoubtedly, patients who bear a tracheostomy have some level of impairment and some loss of quality of life [28]. The pictures presented in this chapter were taken after patient’s consent and with purpose to learn and to be used exclusivelly in this context.

Introduction

Mediastinal tracheostomy (MT) is the construction of a stoma on the anterior chest by using the intrathoracic trachea when there is insufcient length for reanastomo­sis with the remaining trachea or for a traditional suprasternal tracheostomy. This procedure requires a laryngectomy (if not done previously) associated with removal of the upper sternum, the medial third of the clavicles, and eventually the proximal third of the rst and second ribs, to provide access to the intrathoracic trachea [13]. Few surgeons or institutions have extensive experience of this procedure, due to its rarity, complexity, and association with high morbidity. In the literature, there are some case series with small sample sizes, but with acceptable results [4].

History

In 1942, Watson planned a procedure for the treatment of a squamous cell carci­noma 4cm above the carina. The patient had undergone a laryngectomy followed by radiotherapy 15years previously. A “V” portion of the sternum was resected and skin aps were mobilized to allow closure of the tracheostomy margins [23].
In 1952, Kleitsch removed a patient’s upper sternum and inserted a polyethylene tube for MT [21].In the same year, Minor, after removal of a recurrent carcinoma in a tracheostoma, fashioned skin aps into the shape of a tube through a sternal open­ing to connect with the trachea [22]. In 1959, Waddell and Cannon pulled a tracheal segment on the right of the ascending aorta and anastomosed it with a skin tube cre­ated with aps from the anterior chest region through an opening in the sternum. Of the four patients who underwent this procedure, two died of massive bleeding [17].
In 1962, Sisson et al. resected a large piece of skin along with a tumor and removed the notch and the heads of both clavicles in surgery for recurrence of laryn­geal carcinoma in the stoma. Skin aps were mobilized to the superior closure of the stoma and the lower failure was covered with skin grafts. After undergoing the pro­cedure, two patients died from postoperative bleeding by the innominate artery, and the pectoralis muscle (PM) ap began to be interposed between the trachea and the innominate artery [15].
In 1966, Grillo fashioned a large bipedicled total thickness ap from the skin of the anterior chest region through two main horizontal incisions in an effort to elimi­nate the tension in the tracheocutaneous anastomosis responsible for poor healing and the threat of bleeding from the innominate artery. This aps reaches the termi­nal stump of the trachea in the mediastinum, which was accessed by removing the notch and sternal portions of both clavicles and the rst and second costal cartilages. The stoma emerged at the center of the ap, requiring only a simple suture [19].

Indications

The patient must be carefully selected for this procedure due to its complexity, potential for complications, degree of deformity, and postoperative sequelae. The reconstruction of the alimentary tract should be taken into consideration as, accord­ing to necessity, there will be a considerable increase in the complexity of the sur­gery. Thus, a good preoperative evaluation becomes crucial. The patient needs a good performance status with good heart and lung function, and must be well nour­ished and psychologically prepared for the deformities and sequelae of the resection and reconstruction. A history of abdominal surgery inuences the type of recon­struction. A history of cervical radiotherapy compromises the tracheal circulation, which increases the risk of ischemia and makes it more difcult to access the large vessels of the neck for a microsurgical anastomosis [5, 6].
According to Conti etal., the main indications for MT are malignant neoplasms of the subglottic region extending to the proximal trachea, a recurrence in stoma after laryngectomy, and a well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with tracheal

invasion, after either curative or palliative resection (Table 1). The recommended minimum length of the residual trachea for this procedure is 5.0 cm. The same authors also recommend chemotherapy and radiation associated with tracheal stent­ing for cases of cervical esophageal cancer with tracheal invasion; the 3-year sur­vival rate is just 11% after a radical procedure.
The presence of metastases is not an absolute contraindication to this procedure. However, in these cases, other methods for palliation with less morbidity should be considered, such as radiotherapy or stent placement [4].
The main contraindications to MT are invasion or involvement of the great ves­sels, distal trachea invasion of 3.0–4.0cm above the carina, column or prevertebral fascia invasion, and the presence of disease in the bronchial lumen [7].
Description oftheProcedure andPerioperative Care
The most commonly used incisions are the collar incision and the bipedicled/apron incision. In cases of recurrence in a previous tracheostoma, the peritracheostoma skin should be resected (Fig.1).
In the case of a collar incision, a platysmal subcutaneous ap is made to expose the larynx, trachea, sternocleidomastoid, and carotid sheaths. The lower ap per­mits better exposure of the anterior thoracic wall. Using a surgical saw, a resection is done of the middle third of the clavicle, sternal notch, and cartilaginous limit of the rst two ribs, with preservation of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (Figs.2 and
3). The need to extend the resection to the second rib depends on the length of the
remaining trachea. With this, the surgeon has a good view of the upper mediastinal structures.
Prior to use of the saw, digital dissection of the posterior wall of the sternum is recommended.
The trachea is divided obliquely to facilitate skin suturing (Fig.4). The inferior portion is reintubated and the superior portion is resected along with the affected structures (Fig.5). After that, the trachea is released from the esophagus by blunt dissection, with preservation of the vascularization (Fig. 6). When the tracheal stump causes compression of large vessels, it is transposed inferiorly through the innominate artery to decrease the distance from the skin and to prevent anastomosis tension, reducing the risk of peristomal dehiscence, mediastinitis, and rupture of large vessels (Fig.7).
For closure of the defect and fashioning of the tracheocutaneous anastomosis, use of myocutaneous aps is recommended to protect the large vessels and avoid tension
