Abstract

Preoperative XRT increases the risk of PCF after laryngectomy and the need for surgical closure. Local flap closure has a limited role in the surgical management of PCF. PM flap reconstruction has a high complication rate including recurrent fistulization in the setting of preoperative radiation.
