Complications of Laryngeal Surgery

Abstract

Objective: To study the Complications of Laryngeal Surgery

Study Design: Experimental Study

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Idris Teaching Hospital Sialkot Medical College Sialkot from Jan 2016 to Jan 2019.

Materials and Methods: This study include 100 patients of laryngeal carcinoma. Their history was taken on performa and lab tests were advised to all of the patients . The study was conducted in Idris Teaching Hospital Sialkot Medical College Sialkot. Written informed  consent was also taken from every patient. The permission of ethical committee was also considered to conduct this research work and publishing in medical journal.

Inclusion Criteria: All the patients of laryngeal carcinoma were included in this study

Results: Laryngeal cancer is basically disease of elderly. In this study largest number of lesions (12/30) occurred in six decade of life ,This accounts for 40% of all the cases as shown in table no 1.Overall age incidence range between 45-80 years in another study the maximum incidence 34.5% was in the fifth decade of life²The world wide maximum figure approximately 40% occur in 51-60 years of age .It coincides with the findings of present study. Laryngeal cancer has clear cut preponderance for male population among the 30 patients consecutively undergoing laryngeal surgery for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma larynx, 27 patients were found to be male (90%) and remaining 3 female patients (10%).Thus male to female ratio was 9:1 as shown in table no 1.

The world wide maximum figure approximately 40 % occur in 51-60 years of age .It coincides with the findings of present study. Laryngeal cancer has clear cut preponderance for male population among the 30 patients consecutively undergoing laryngeal surgery for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma larynx, 27 patients were found to be male (90%) and remaining 3 female patients (10%).Thus male to female ratio was 9:1 as shown in table no 1.. This ratio was 5.1:1²  the world wide male to female ratio varies from 5 - 20 : 1.In UK and US this tumor is 5-6 times more common in male than in female .In US ratio has decreased from 12:1 to 5:1 over the last 20 years³

Conclusion: It was observed that there were definite complications during laryngeal surgery
