What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tested whether placing a flap of neck tissue over the closure line after total larynx removal (laryngectomy) could lower the chance of a pharyngocutaneous fistula—an abnormal opening that can leak saliva and delay healing. Fifty patients with advanced laryngeal cancer took part. The goal was to see if this simple surgical addition improves healing and reduces complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cervical fascia flap (surgical procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could reduce a common complication after larynx removal surgery, improving recovery and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with 50 patients. Results may not apply to everyone, and the procedure itself carries surgical risks.
