Objectives: To find out the frequency, risk factors, and its effect on the management of pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF).

Methods: Observational, Cross Sectional study. Number of laryngectomized patients 249.

Results: Total PCF developed 48 (19.27%). Irradiated patients with multiple co-morbidities had more chance to develop PCF.

Conclusion: High incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula mostly due to advanced stage of
