Abstract Background Total laryngectomy (TL) is a complex procedure, and patients undergoing TL are at high risk for readmission, which exposes them to hospital-acquired complications. Readmission rate is a metric for quality of care. We aimed to identify the rate, causes, and predictors of hospital readmission within 60 days after discharge following TL. Methods This is a 12-year retrospective study where we included all patients undergoing TL in a single tertiary care center between 2008 and 2022.
