Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) can invade the surrounding aerodigestive tract. Radical surgery for locally advanced DTC will require resection of the trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscles (IPCMs), or a part of the esophagus. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of resection of these surrounding tissues combined with total thyroidectomy and neck dissection on swallowing function following surgery. Methods: We performed total thyroidectomy combined with neck dissection and resection of the RLN in 24 patients with DTC with extrathyroidal invasion (19 unilateral, 1 bilateral), IPCMs (n = 5), or muscle layers of esophagus (n = 9). Nine patients received a tracheostomy placement due to a window resection of the trachea for tumor invasion (n = 6) and necessary upper airway management (n = 3). We used the duration of nasogastric tube feeding to evaluate swallowing function following surgery. Results: Patients who underwent tracheostomy or IPCM resection showed significantly longer periods of tube feeding (p = 0.0057 and 0.0017, respectively). In contrast, resection of the unilateral RLN or esophageal muscle layer showed no difference in tube feeding duration. Multiple regression analysis indicated that tracheostomy and IPCM resection were significant independent predictors of longer periods of tube feeding (p = 0.04583 and 0.00087, respectively). Conclusion: These results indicate that tracheostomy placement and resection of the IPCMs, together with total thyroidectomy, extends the tube feeding duration in the postoperative period.
