The treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma has shifted toward radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with the goal of organ preservation and similar survival to primary laryngectomy.1 Recurrence after treatment requires salvage laryngectomy. Radiation predisposes patients to impaired healing, and pharyngocutaneous fistula develops in 30–75% of patients. Fistula increases short- and long-term morbidity for the laryngectomy patient.2 …
