Oncological and functional outcomes for transoral robotic surgery following previous radiation treatment for upper aerodigestive tract head and neck cancers. A French multicenter GETTEC group study

Abstract Background Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) opens new perspectives. We evaluated the outcomes for patients having undergone TORS after previous radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective multicenter study (n = 138) in a previously irradiated area between 2009 and 2020. Survival was assessed with...

description Abstract Background Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) opens new perspectives. We evaluated the outcomes for patients having undergone TORS after previous radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective multicenter study (n = 138) in a previously irradiated area between 2009 and 2020. Survival was assessed with the Kaplan–Meier method. Prognostic factors were evaluated using a chi‐squared test, Fisher's test, or Wilcoxon's test. Results The median length of hospital stay was 12.5 days. Bleeding was the most frequent postoperative complication (15.2%, n = 22). Prophylactic vessel ligation did not significantly decrease bleeding. Complications were significantly lower for Tis, T1, and N0 tumors. 91.6% (n = 120) of the patients with a perioperative tracheotomy could be decannulated. Larynx was functional for 65.94% of the patients. The median length of follow‐up was 26 months. The 5‐year overall and relapse‐free survival rates were respectively 59.9% and 43.4%. Conclusion Oncological and functional results confirmed the value of TORS as a treatment in previously irradiated area.
