Background: Supracricoid laryngectomies (SL) were introduced to radically treat laryngeal tumors while respecting laryngeal function. Despite SL with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) allows good functional results in terms of swallowing, breathing function and voice quality, older age has been traditionally considered a contraindication to SL. Aim of this study is to investigate the functional o...

INTRODUCTION Near-total laryngectomy (NTL) provides a functional alternative to total laryngectomy (TL) in T3-T4 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. It was initially advocated in extended glottic carcinoma and in hypopharyngeal carcinoma. More recently, the utility of Pearson’s NTL for supraglottic, pharyngeal, and base of tongue cancer has been reported. Its application is also described for ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Supracricoid horizontal partial laryngectomy (SCPL) is increasingly used to treat endolaryngeal carcinoma. However, few radiologic reports of these procedures exist. Our purpose was to evaluate the normal CT appearance of the neolarynx after surgery. METHODS SCPL includes cricohyoidopexy (CHP), cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP), and tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy (TCHEP)...

Enlarged fronto-lateral laryngectomy with epiglottoplasty and supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidopexy (CHP) or cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) differ from each other as regards surgical technique, extent of the resection and method of reconstruction. Despite of that, selected carcinomas of the true vocal cord staged as T2N0, which are included in indications to all mentioned laryngectomi...

Residual or recurrent laryngeal cancer after irradiation is a difficult clinical problem with a rate that ranges from 13% to 36% of cases. Supracricoid laryngectomy (SCL) with cricohyoidopexy (CHP) or cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) provide reliable oncological and functional results for selected primary and recurrent patients with glottic and supraglottic carcinomas. We conducted a systematic ...

Objective: Supracricoidpartial laryngectomy with Cricohyoidoepiglottopexy or Cricohyoïdopexieis an organ preservation surgery indicated for selected T1 to T3 laryngeal cancers. To evaluate functional and oncological outcomes of supracricoid laryngectomy in our department, a retrospective review was conducted. Methods: We summarized the clinical and postoperative data of 31 patients who received...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the oncological results of supracricoid partial laryngectomy as a treatment for selected glottic and supraglottic cancer in a large series of patients who had undergone uniform treatment over a 16-year period and to determine the different prognostic factors that may influence local control and survival. DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. SETTING Academic tertiary r...

BACKGROUND Surgery of laryngeal cancer used to profoundly alter the anatomy of the cervical region. Accurate anatomo-embryologic studies and repeated surgical trials allowed recognition of the cricoarytenoid complex as the smallest anatomofunctional unit able to maintain all the laryngeal functions. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether significant variations of neck anato...

numerous surgical techniques can be used for conservative laryngeal cancer treatment. in all cases, the goal is to preserve laryngeal function as far as possible and, at the same time, to observe, as rigorously as possible the principles of oncological radicality. functional reconstructive laryngectomies were performed at the EnT Clinic of modena general hospital. The following types of procedu...
