[Near-total laryngectomy in the treatment of advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma].
Near-total laryngectomy was first introduced by RB Pearson in 1980. In this report, 14 cases (T3, T4 laryngeal cancer 10 cases, pyriform fossa 3, cervical esophagus 1) treated with near-total laryngectomy. The speech function was obtained in 12/14 (85.7%) within 2 to 5 weeks, all cases had good swallowing. 2-year survival rate is 78.6%. The authors believed that such surgical technic is most indicated in the cases when regular partial laryngectomy can not be performed and in elderly cases who would have the risk with partial laryngectomy.
