[Long-term study following frontolateral partial larynx resection].
Between 1972 and 1981 frontolateral laryngectomy was performed in 72 cases of vocal cord cancer. Regular follow-up examinations were performed over a period of at least five and up to 15 years after primary surgery. In 1987, 63 of these patients were still alive. In 68 out of 72 (94.3%), survival time was three years or more. In 34 out of 43 (79%), survival time was five years or more. Leroux-Robert's indication guidelines are confirmed and slightly extended. The functional results and the frequency of recurrence are reviewed.
