One hundred supracricoid laryngectomies with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy: do we achieve better local control?

One hundred supracricoid laryngectomies with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy: do we achieve better local control?

OBJECTIVE Supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy has been known to be able to cope with tumor excisions with minimal margins. Extended resection may result in a limited margin and may impair the prognosis. We conducted a clinicopathologic analysis of local recurrence in supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy patients. METHODS Between 1997 and 2013, 100 patien...

Supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy for advanced glottic cancer.

BACKGROUND Supracricoid laryngectomy with cri-cohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) is a conservative surgical procedure indicated in selected cases of advanced glottic carcinoma. METHODS This study is a review of our experience with 43 patients with T3/T4 glottic squamous cell carcinoma who underwent CHEP in our institution. All but two patients underwent selective neck dissections. All patients were...

Supracricoid laryngectomies: oncological and functional results for 152 patients

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes in patients who underwent supracricoid laryngectomies with a crico-hyoidopexy (SCL-CHP) or a crico-hyoido-epiglottopexy (SCL-CHEP) for the treatment of primary and reccurent laryngeal cancer. A retrospective study was conducted on 152 consecutive patients seen from January 1996 to December 2006. Overall survival (...

Supracricoid partial laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy in patients with radiation therapy failure

BACKGROUND To assess functional results, complications, and success of larynx preservation in patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy. METHODS From a database of 40 patients who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) from June 2001 to April 2006, eight patients were treated previously with radiotherapy due to squamous...
