Perineural spread (PNS) is an important risk factor for locoregional failure and is correlated with reduced survival rates in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. PNS may extend proximally and/or distally in the nerve sheath by leaving uninvolved nerve segments. This method of extension may preclude obtaining tumor-free surgical margins, which may be responsible for recurrent disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the presence or absence of PNS in extralaryngeal superior and inferior laryngeal nerves in patients who underwent total laryngectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
