Core Tip This study compares stapler-assisted and hand-sewn techniques for esophageal closure after total laryngectomy, focusing on salivary fistula formation. Stapler-assisted closure significantly reduced fistula incidence (22.7% vs 77.3%) without technical complications, highlighting it as a safe and effective alternative to the traditional hand-sewn method. Preoperative radiotherapy was identified as a significant risk factor for fistula development. These findings suggest stapler-assisted closure may improve postoperative outcomes and should be considered in surgical planning for laryngectomy patients.
