Risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula formation: a study focused on pharyngeal reconstruction technique
Our findings suggest that pharyngeal reconstruction using simple interrupted sutures and radical neck dissection are independent risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula development. Based on this, we recommend using the modified Cushing suture technique over simple interrupted sutures due to its association with a significantly lower pharyngocutaneous fistula rate.
