Analysis of Postoperative Bleeding and Risk Factors in Transoral Surgery of the Oropharynx

Abstract: Transoral resection of oropharyngeal carcinoma is safe, and severe life-threatening hemorrhage is rare. Although transcervical vessel ligation did not result in an overall decrease in bleeding rate, there is a trend toward reduced postoropharyngectomy bleeding severity with ligation. We recommend ligation for higher T-stage tumors, primary tonsil tumors, and patients undergoing revision surgery.

“…Tumors originated from the tonsil (257), anterior tonsillar pillar (125), junction between anterior tonsillar pillar and tongue (51), posterior tonsillar pillar (31), lateral tongue base (20), glossotonsillar fold (19), or infratonsillar region (11). T staging, 17 N staging, 17 and the various anatomical subsites involved by the index cancer are documented in Table 1.…”

“…9 As these techniques have become more commonplace and surgeons have gained experience, improvements in outcomes have occurred, including decreased morbidity, shorter operative time, and reduced complications. 10,11 Oncologic outcomes following TORS compare favorably with those of other treatments. In a comparison of related studies of patients with HPV-positive lower T-stage disease, 2-year survival rates ranged from 91% to 96%, [12][13][14] with one review illustrating pooled 2-year overall survival rates of 82% to 94% following TORS.…”

“…The importance of addressing level I in this setting has yet to be elucidated, but dissecting this level increases the risk of a fistula in synchronous procedures. It is generally agreed that at the time of the neck dissection, individual branches of the external carotid artery (lingual, facial and ascending pharyngeal) are identified and individually ligated to reduce the risk of postoperative haemorrhage after transoral surgery [31,32].…”
