Surgical treatments, including Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy (OPHL), are often followed by long-lasting swallowing rehabilitation and more rarely, persistent dysphagia. Some authors reported single cases, successfully treated with fat injection of the base of tongue, but nowadays, a standardized technique has never been described so far. We provide a step-by-step technique description of the trans-cervical lipofilling of the base of the tongue (BOT) under local anaesthesia in a case series of three patients. The functional results have been evaluated with a videofluoroscopic study of deglutition and Penetration-Aspiration Score. The procedure was well tolerated; all patients were discharged after 24\u00a0hours without any majorcomplications. After six months, all patients had a steady improvement in swallowing. During follow-up, the videofluoroscopic study of deglutition confirmed a sensitive amelioration of the Penetration-Aspiration Score and an empowered base of tongue retropulsion. Finally, the lipofilling of the BOT under local anaesthesia showed to be a feasible, and reproducible procedure, for dysphagia after OPHLs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613221097201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,30]],"date-time":"2022-04-30T01:09:28Z","timestamp":1651280968000},"page":"NP101-NP106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Modified transcervical lipofilling of the base of the tongue under local anaesthesia: Case series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4813-1475","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Chu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"De Benedetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Therapies in Otolaryngology, Campus Bio-Medico University, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valeria","family":"Zurlo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Mossinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Zorzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Tagliabue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"De Berardinis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Bandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Pietrobon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohssen","family":"Ansarin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21147\/j.issn.1000-9604.2020.01.03"},{"key":"bibr2-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers11040549"},{"key":"bibr3-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.25341"},{"key":"bibr4-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21064"},{"key":"bibr5-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.26003"},{"key":"bibr6-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00455-010-9293-1"},{"key":"bibr7-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.25465"},{"key":"bibr8-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00417897"},{"key":"bibr9-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2006.09.002"},{"key":"bibr10-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2009.01.038"},{"key":"bibr11-01455613221097201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amsu.2018.10.016"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp;
