Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan.

Operative methods, in relation to the completeness of resection and surgical results, and postoperative complications, in relation to operative methods, were discussed in 60 patients with advanced thyroid carcinoma in whom tumor invading the trachea was resected along with thyroid carcinoma. Laryngotracheal anastomosis was performed in 41 patients and tracheotracheal anastomosis in 19 patients. Complete resection was performed in 22 patients in the former group and in 12 patients in the latter group. Three-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates in patients undergoing complete resection were 87.0%, 78.1%, and 78.1%, respectively. Those for patients undergoing incomplete resection were 64.9%, 43.7%, and 24.3%, respectively. The locations of remaining tumor were the tracheal stump in patients in whom resection was incomplete. In four patients with esophageal invasion, the muscular layer of the esophagus was resected. Three of these patients had good postoperative results. Postoperative complications consisted of stenosis at the anastomosis in two patients, temporary mis-swallowing in three patients, temporary lower pharyngeal stenosis in one patient, temporary vocal cord edema in one patient, and tetany in two patients.
