Title: [The reconstruction of laryngeal function in subtotal laryngectomy with preservation of arytenoid cartilage]. Author: Zhou L, Song Y, Geng D. Journal: Zhonghua Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi; 1999 Oct; 34(5):309-10. PubMed ID: 12764833. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate subtotal laryngectomy with preservation of arytenoid cartilage to reconstruct laryngeal function in T3 glottic or supraglottic laryngeal cancer. METHODS: Subtotal laryngectomy with preservation of arytenoid cartilage to reconstruct laryngeal function was reviewed in 20 patients with T3 laryngeal cancer(3 cases with glottic cancer and 17 cases with supraglottic cancer). Recurrent laryngeal nerve was preserved during surgery. The mucous membranes between cricoid cartilage and pharynx were sewed up accordingly. RESULTS: All patients had restored phonation and swallowing functions. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 94.1% and 91.8% respectively. Decannulation rate was 95.0%. CONCLUSION: Subtotal laryngectomy with preservation of arytenoid cartilage is recommended for T3 laryngeal cancer.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
