Does pectoralis myofascial flap during salvage laryngectomy prevent pharyngocutaneous fistula?
With pectoralis myofascial flap reinforcement, pharyngocutaneous fistula rate after salvage laryngectomy dropped to 0 percent in this study (0%-23%; 95% CI). This is a simple, reliable technique that prevents postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistula and its associated morbidity after salvage laryngectomy.
Postprandial apoE isoform and conformational changes associated with VLDL dramatically modulate vascular inflammation.
