title: [Experience with radical resection of the larynx in stage III - IV cancer].
abstract: Laryngectomy has been performed as first-line treatment in 23 patients with laryngeal cancer stage III-IV. The author has modified the final stage of the surgery: laryngeal defect suturing with a continuous suture and the wound drainage. Two patients were operated on radically. Five-year follow-up covered 3, 3-year one 15 patients. None of them had recurrence or metastases. Healing by first intention was observed in 74% of the patients. It is inferred that laryngectomy is effective as an initial stage of combined treatment of laryngeal cancer stage III-IV. The modification of the surgery final stage reduces the frequency of postoperative complications in the absence of inflammation in the tissues adjacent to tracheostoma.
