ABSTRACT
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine ipsilateral
and contralateral occult neck metastasis rate in patients who underwent
bilateral neck dissection due to T1-T4 N0 laryngeal carcinoma,
and put forward the need for bilateral neck dissection. Material and
Methods: This study included 60 patients who underwent bilateral neck
dissections due to T1-T4 N0 laryngeal carcinoma between 1998 and
2015. The patients were divided into three groups according to the localization
of the tumor (supraglottic, glottic, and transglottic). Each
group was divided into 3 subgroups as unilateral lesion, midline lesion,
and unilateral lesion passing across the midline. The neck metastases
were classified as ipsilateral, contralateral, or bilateral. Results: The
tumor was supraglottic in 14, glottic in 13, and transglottic in 33 patients.
There was neck metastasis in 9 of 60 patients (3 patients had N1,
3 patients had N2b, and 3 patients had N2c necks). Contralateral neck
metastasis was not seen in any of the patients with unilateral tumors.
Contralateral neck metastasis was not evident when there was not an ipsilateral
neck metastasis. The rate of contralateral neck metastasis in
presence of ipsilateral neck metastasis was 33% in supraglottic, 50% in
glottic T4a, and 25% in transglottic tumors. Conclusion: The results of
this study indicated that unilateral neck dissection was sufficient in all
groups in case of unilateral tumors, and unilateral tumors passing across
the midline when there is no ipsilateral neck metastasis, but bilateral
neck dissection is needed in midline tumors.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalısmada amacımız, T1-T4 N0 larinks kanseri nedeniyle
bilateral boyun diseksiyonu yapılan hastalarda, lezyon tarafı ve
kontralateral occult metastaz oranlarını saptayarak, bilateral boyun diseksiyonu
gerekliligini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada
1998-2015 yılları arasında, T1-T4 N0 larinks kanseri nedeniyle
bilateral boyun diseksiyonu uygulanan 60 hasta değerlendirilmiştir.
Hastalar tümör lokalizasyonuna göre 3 grupta incelenmiştir (supraglottik,
glottik, transglottik). Her grup kendi içinde tek taraflı lezyon,
orta hat ve orta hattı geçmiş tek taraflı lezyon seklinde 3 gruba ayrıldı.
Tüm grupların metastaz oranları unilateral, kontralateral ve bilateral
olarak sınıflandırıldı. Bulgular: Tümör, 14 hastada supraglottik,
13 hastada glottik, 33 hastada transglottik idi. Altmış hastanın 9’unda
boyun metastazı saptandı (3 N1, 3 N2b,3 N2c). Tek taraflı lezyonların
hiçbirinde karşı tarafta metastaz tespit edilmedi. Lezyon tarafında metastaz
saptanmayan olguların hepsinde karsı tarafta da metastaz saptanmadı.
Lezyon tarafında metastaz saptanan olgularda karsı tarafta
metastaz saptanma oranı supraglottik lezyonlarda %33, glottik T4a lezyonlarda
%50, transglottik lezyonlarda %25 olarak saptandı. Sonuç:
Bu bulgular tum lezyon gruplarında tek taraflı ve orta hattı geçen tek taraflı
tümörlerde lezyon tarafında metastaz saptanmaması durumunda
unilateral boyun diseksiyonunun yeterli olduğu, orta hat lezyonlarında
ise bilateral boyun diseksiyonu yapılmasının uygun olacağı sonucunu
ortaya koymaktadır.
