We also included some under investigated measurements. Results: 127 studies were included for this study. The results showed that early detection of tumor, Control CoMorbidities, Avoid Radiotherapy and tracheotomy if that is possible, Local control of tumor during Surgery, Using Vascularized flap such Pectoralis Muscle Flap in high risk patient, Using Stapler during Pharyngeal repair and Using Jejunal Free Flap for laryngeal Reconstruction using antibiotic, anti GERD medication and collagen patch may decrease the incidence of Pharyngocutaneous.
