Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In endoscopic submucosal dissection for oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers (pharyngeal ESD), the tumor lesions are located close to the vocal cords.
Airway management by tracheostomy provides a good surgical field and endoscopic maneuverability and is very useful when postoperative laryngeal edema occurs. However, it is invasive, and there are concerns about dysphonia, dysphagia, and delayed wound closure in the medium to long term.
Airway management by tracheal intubation may interfere with the surgical field and endoscopic maneuverability. In addition, postoperative laryngeal edema may make immediate extubation difficult and necessitate reintubation or postoperative tracheostomy.
To improve the surgical field and endoscopic maneuverability and reduce the risk of postoperative upper airway obstruction, we have used an airway management technique involving a bronchial blocker and a cricothyrotomy kit (the Suzuki method; Suzuki T et al. Can J Anesth. 2014;61:39-45). After encountering a case in which airway management using this method was difficult, we retrospectively reviewed previous cases to examine potential improvements to the method, with the aim of improving its safety.

21

Results

Among 23 procedures managed with this technique, planned airway management was maintained in most procedures, and no airway obstruction occurred after catheter removal. Ventilation difficulty associated with catheter compression or kinking occurred in some procedures, and oral tracheal intubation was required in a small number.
