Whereas surgery in the 1970s aimed at radical block resection and defect repair from outside, the establishment of transoral laser microsurgery marked a new era of organ- and function-preserving therapy. An international symposium, held on 10 and 11 June 2005 in Gottingen, was dedicated to a critical review and assessment of the current role of laser surgery for the treatment of head and neck cancer. Experts from five continents presented their experiences and scientific results and had an intensive exchange with participants from different countries. The topics of the symposium were focused on the surgical principles of laser resection, the oncological and functional results in comparison with traditional therapy, the difficulties and limits of laser surgery in distinct anatomical regions and on the role of radiotherapy. This report summarizes the most important results and statements and gives an overview of actual developments.

Design: Retrospective unicenter study of the oncologic and functional results of laser microsurgery of tongue base carcinoma performed between 1986 and 1997. Settings: University hospital department. Patients: We reviewed 48 previously untreated patients with base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma, who were treated with transoral laser microsurgery. Distribution of the T categories were T1, 2%; T2, 25%; T3, 15%; and T4, 58%; 94% belonged to the stages III and IVa. Selective neck dissection was performed in 43 patients; 23 patients underwent postoperative radiotherapy with or without simultaneous chemotherapy. Main Outcome Measures: Local control rate, recurrence-free and overall survival rates, mean performance status scale scores for normalcy of diet and understandability of speech. Results: The Kaplan-Meier 5-year local control rate was 85%. There was no local recurrence in T1 and T2 lesions, but there was a 20% local recurrence rate in T3 and T4 tumors. Kaplan-Meier 5-year recurrence-free and overall survival rates were 73% and 52%, respectively. Mean performance status scale scores were 92% for normalcy of diet and 88% for understandability of speech. Twenty-one patients survived at least 5 years after treatment. They have a preserved larynx and live without tracheostoma. or gastrostomy tube.

Study Design: Prospective case-series study at a single institute, an academic tertiary referral center. Methods: A total of 172 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx were eligible for this study (1986-2003). The piriform sinus was the most common localization (n = 150). Patients with simultaneous second primaries, distant metastases, or N3 neck disease and cancers of the category pT4b were excluded. Fifteen percent of the patients had stages I and II (according to guidelines from the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer 2002/American Joint Commission on Cancer, 2002), and 85% had stages III and IVa. The median follow-up period was 45 months. All patients (n = 172) were treated by TLM, mainly by selective neck dissection (93%) and/or postoperative radiotherapy (52%). Overall survival, recurrence-free survival, organ preservation, and local control were analyzed as end points. Rate of tracheotomies, postoperative complications, and swallowing function (feeding tube dependency were also analyzed. Results: Five-year Kaplan-Meier local control was 84% for pT1; 70% for pT2; 75% for pT3; and 57% for pT4a.

An advantage of transoral laser microsurgery is that it can be easily repeated if inadequate resection margins are found postoperatively. The present study investigates the impact of laser surgical reresection on the outcome of patients. Study Design: The authors conducted a retrospective unicenter study. Methods: A review of 1,467 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract who were initially treated by transoral laser microsurgery with curative intent between August 1986 and December 2002 was conducted. Locoregional control as well as TNM adjusted and overall survival were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results. Three hundred eighty-six patients have required reresection to obtain clear surgical margins, in 70 of whom residual carcinoma has been detected in revision specimens. Patients without need for revision and those in whom revision specimens were found tumor-free had an almost identical locoregional control (P =.4611). In patients with positive revision specimens, however, locoregional control was significantly worsened (P =.0058). Neither the need for reresection nor the detection of further tumor tissue in revision specimens affected TNM adjusted or overall survival. Conclusions. Survival of patients was similar whether clear resection margins were reached within the first surgical step or with revision surgery.
