Impact of low-thermal-injury devices on margin status in laryngeal cancer. An experimental ex vivo study
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryIntroductionStatus of margins significantly affects disease-free survival. This study examines in ex vivo model the effect of thermal-injury on margins status comparing traditional instrument with several low-thermal-injury devices.MethodsWe conducted a prospective study on 10 excised larynges from patients affected by advanced laryngeal cancer, to assess the thermal-effect due to surgical incisions made at standard distance by using: scalpel, CO2 Laser, harmonic scalpel and electrocautery. Upon histopathological examination, thermal damage (Surgical Artifact, SA), tissue lost/retraction (Shrinkage, S), and tissue alterations were compared for each instrument.ResultsLow-thermal-injury devices increased SA mean value from 800.7 to 11447.85 μm (72%), and S mean value from 2.226 to 2.910 mm (68.4%) (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe choice of surgical device could influence the histopathological margins status, consequently affecting post operative therapeutic strategies and risk of recurrence.
