Abstract

Objective: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a serious complication following total laryngectomy. We report a simple technique which is useful in assessing the adequacy of pharyngeal closure following total laryngectomy

Method: Installation of 1.5 per cent hydrogen peroxide into the oral cavity. while observing for leakage at the pharyngeal repair.

Results: We have found this technique to be useful in 22 patients undergoing pharyngeal resection and neck dissection.

Conclusion: This method ensures that pharyngeal closure has been technically adequate.
