While ELPS shows favorable outcomes in primary and metachronous lesions, its role as salvage treatment following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains unclear. We evaluated the clinical outcomes of salvage ELPS and factors associated with adverse events (AEs) and prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 136 patients undergoing ELPS between 2014 and 2024, we retrospectively analyzed 17 diagnosed with sHNSCC following CRT. Patients were categorized into salvage and metachronous groups, and clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, AEs, and survival were compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The en bloc resection rate was 100%. AEs occurred in 47.1% of patients and were more frequent in the salvage group than in the metachronous group (70.0% vs. 14.3%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.024).
