Proximilization of frozen elephant trunk (FET) necessitates the ligation and reimplantation of the left subclavian artery (LSA), the origin of which is distal and posterior, make rerouting difficult and cumbersome. We describe a rather simple technique for subclavian artery exposure and effective anatomical reconstruction in the mediastinum coupled with hybrid FET utilization for aortic aneurysm in elective and nonelective settings. The division of the sternocleidomastoid coupled with the sandbag behind the left shoulder brings the LSA superficial enabling anastomosis without any difficulty.

“…An excessive stomal depth is undesirable for tracheoesophageal speech and tracheostoma care. Thus, division of the sternal heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is usually performed during a total laryngectomy to prevent recession and shrinkage of the tracheostoma [97].…”

Since the first total laryngectomy was performed in the late 18th century, several improvements and variations in surgical techniques have been proposed for this procedure. The surgical techniques employed in total laryngectomy have not been comprehensively discussed to date. Thus, the main objective of this article was to address controversial aspects related to this procedure and compare different surgical techniques used for a total laryngectomy procedure from the beginning to the end.Although the management paradigms in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas have shifted to organ-preserving chemoradiotherapy protocols, total laryngectomy still plays a prominent role in the treatment of advanced and recurrent tumors. The increased incidence of complications associated with salvage total laryngectomy has driven efforts to improve the surgical techniques in various aspects of the operation. Loss of voice and impaired swallowing are the most difficult challenges to be overcome in laryngectomies, and the introduction of tracheoesophageal voice prostheses has made an enormous difference in postoperative rehabilitation and quality of life. Advancements in reconstruction techniques, tumor control, and metastatic management, such as prophylactic neck treatments and paratracheal nodal dissection (PTND), as well as the use of thyroid gland-preserving total laryngectomy in selected patients have all led to the increasing success of modern total laryngectomy. Several conclusions regarding the benchmarking of surgical techniques cannot be drawn. Issues regarding total laryngectomy are still open for discussion, and the technique will continue to require improvement in the near future.

“…Finally, the section of the medial portion of both sternocleidomastoid muscles at their distal end promotes flattening of the tracheostoma, facilitates VP management, and enhances adherence to adhesives and HME. It is a simple, quick, and safe procedure [46][47][48] (4, C).…”

Head and neck cancer, the seventh most common cancer worldwide, often affects the larynx, with a higher incidence in men. Total laryngectomy, a common treatment, results in the loss of phonation, and tracheoesophageal voice rehabilitation is the current rehabilitation method of choice. Despite ongoing debates regarding the timing of tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP), a crucial procedure for voice prosthesis placement, the secondary puncture continues to be the preferred choice in the majority of cases. This underscores the persistent controversy and the absence of consensus in this field. The aim of this manuscript was to define evidence-based recommendations regarding the procedure of primary TEP with voice prosthesis placement, establish the conditions and requirements for performing primary TEP, determine the indications and contraindications of primary TEP, as well as to define the complications and management of primary TEP. A total of 19 statements were formulated, with 78.95% of them having a Level of Evidence 4 and a Grade of Recommendation C. There is not sufficient evidence comparing the outcomes of primary TEP versus secondary TEP. Future studies with robust methodologies are needed to clarify the role of primary and secondary TEP in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing total laryngectomy.
