OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical application and significance of the modified piriform fossa fistulectomy based on segmental anatomy of fistula. METHODS: The clinical data of 84 patients with CPSF treated by modified pyriform sinus fistulectomy were analyzed retrospectively. The modified piriform fossa fistula resection adopts the fistula anterograde anatomy method to fine dissect the fistula. The operation procedure can be summarized into four parts: retrograde anatomy of recurrent laryngeal nerve, anatomy of external branch of superior laryngeal nerve, anterograde anatomy of fistula and partial thyroidectomy. RESULTS: All 84 patients successfully completed the operation and discharged from the hospital. The operation time was(64.6±20.0) min, the intraoperative bleeding was(19.6±13.0) mL, and the average hospital stay was(6.8±1.1) d. Postoperative infection occurred in 1 case(1.19%), temporary vocal cord paralysis in 1 case(1.19%), no bleeding, pharyngeal fistula, dysphagia, permanent vocal cord paralysis and choking cough. The incidence of complications was 2.3%(2/84). No complications such as permanent vocal cord paralysis and hypothyroidism occurred. Follow up for 57-106(Median 74) months showed no recurrence. CONCLUSION: A modified procedure based on segmental dissection of the fistula not only simplifies the traditional procedure, but also procedures the specific steps to provide a targeted and precise resection, which provides a proven surgical solution for complete eradication of the lesion and significantly reduces complications and recurrence. |
