Vertical partial laryngectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Management of small tumours involving the true vocal folds can be contentious. Tumour control is achieved in over 95% of patients presenting with T1 glottic cancer employing external beam radiation therapy, vertical hemilaryngectomy, or transoral endoscopic resection. Given adequate resources, the weight of evidence favours endoscopic transoral resection as the most cost-effective approach with very high rates of tumour control.

Obstructive sleep apnea: is there a difference between vertical and horizontal laryngectomy?
UNLABELLED Partial laryngectomy is used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. Structural alterations of the upper airway arising from partial laryngectomy can cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

METHOD Cross-sect...
متن کاملHorizontal Vertical Laryngectomy in Transglottic Laryngeal Cancer
Organ preservation surgery in the larynx cancer started with cordectomy technique in 1850s. Leading laryngologists have described alternative techniques to total laryngectomy (TL). But the extent of their indications, resection limits and reconstruction problems led to oncological and functional failure. Therefore, these techniques were forgotten until 1950s. Studies on the embryology, surgical...

BACKGROUND Many methods of glottic reconstruction have been described for patients undergoing vertical partial laryngectomy to reestablish the glottic integrity. METHODS Fifteen patients with T2 squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis were included in this prospective clinical trial. All patients were treated by vertical partial laryngectomy with laryngeal reconstruction by platysma myofascial...

OBJECTIVE Laryngeal reconstruction is needed to preserve laryngeal function in patients who have undergone extensive vertical or frontal partial laryngectomy. However, the procedure remains a difficult challenge. Several reconstruction techniques have been described, but these techniques pose risks of complications such as laryngeal stenosis. This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative cours...
متن کاملIs partial laryngectomy safe forever?
OBJECTIVES Over past decades, function-preserving surgery has been oncologically effective for specific types of laryngeal cancer. Although safe short-term swallow function has been reported, swallow safety during long-term survival has received less attention. The purpose of this report is to highlight potential consequences of late dysphagia and chronic aspiration after partial laryngectomy. ...
