Partial laryngectomy for vocal cord cancer with marked limitation or fixation of the vocal cord.
Partial laryngectomy was the procedure utilized to treat 26 patients with either marked limitation of vocal cord motion or fixation. The absolute 24-month tumor free control rate was 73% (19 of 26). Extended hemilaryngectomy with cricoid resection should be performed if subglottic extension of 5 mm or greater is present. Extended hemilaryngectomy has a greater complication rate than the classical hemilaryngectomy.
