Impact of Lymph Node Yield in Patients Undergoing Total Laryngectomy and Neck Dissection

Objectives: To determine the impact of lymph node yield (LNY) in patients undergoing neck dissection at the time of total laryngectomy (TL). To determine the impact of radiation therapy (RT) on LNY. Methods: Retrospective review of LNY and clinical outcomes in 232 patients undergoing primary or salv...

Summary:Objectives: To determine the impact of lymph node yield (LNY) in patients undergoing neck dissection at the time of total laryngectomy (TL). To determine the impact of radiation therapy (RT) on LNY. Methods: Retrospective review of LNY and clinical outcomes in 232 patients undergoing primary or salvage total laryngectomy (TL) with ND. Results: Preoperative RT significantly decreased mean LNY from 31.7 to 23.9 nodes (P
