Extended partial laryngectomy.
This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with a large T3NoMo laryngopharyngeal cancer by combined surgical excision and planned postoperative irradiation therapy. Surgical excision included a horizontal subtotal supraglottic laryngectomy combined with a vertical hemilaryngectomy and partial pharyngectomy. The patient was reconstructed with a free sternocleidomastoid muscle graft. The results and implications of this therapy are discussed.
