  • Title: [Calearo horizontal glottectomy in bilateral glottic cancer].
    Author: Rodríguez Adrados F.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 1997 Apr; 48(3):204-8. PubMed ID: 9235034.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral glottic carcinoma is an unusual tumor that presented a surgical problem that was not resolved satisfactorily until Calearo and Teatini published their horizontal glottectomy technique in 1978, which consists of block excision of both vocal cords with part of the thyroid cartilage, and conservation of the arytenoids. This laryngeal horizontal glottic technique is analogous to supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy. We report our experience with 12 cases, indicating the technical details of the procedure, the satisfactory oncological and functional results, and current indications.
