Implication

Retrospective analysis reports short-term complications and long-term oncologic outcomes of RLNP in patients, suggesting implications for surgical approaches.

Key Points

Patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy faced higher complications like pneumonia and anastomotic leaks, increasing morbidity.
In total, 5.9% of patients had recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, with 28% experiencing pneumonia compared to 18% without it.
Propensity score matching showed that while RLNP affected short-term outcomes, it did not significantly alter long-term survival once tumor stage was accounted for.
The findings highlight that recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy doesn't worsen oncologic outcomes, implying oncologic radicality shouldn't be compromised.
