[Requisite selection of surgical technics in the treatment of cancer of the larynx].
Rules for functional surgery of cancer of larynx are defined by means of a detaited analysis of results of 43 cases of reconstructive anterior frontal laryngectomy, 17 cases of crico-hyoide-epiglottopexy and 32 cases of crico-hyoidopexy. The carcinologic features of this surgery are discussed, and emphasis placed on the importance of the paraglottic space and its functional conditions in the light of recent physiologic data. Surgical procedures used are outlined with, for each of them, the neoplastic localization suitable for treatment and a critical analysis of postoperative functional results. Carcinologic follow up is still insufficient for several techniques used, preventing any precise conclusions to be drawn, but the authors consider it is justifiable to perform 66% of partial as against 34% of total laryngectomies.
