title: [The long-term clinical results of laryngeal cancer treated with tracheo-pharyngeal anastomoses].
abstract: From 1978 to 1991, 90 cases of laryngeal cancer had been treated with reconstructive tracheo-pharyngeal anastomoses. Among these cases, 78 were male and 12 female; the sex ratio was 6.5:1, the youngest case was 35 years old, and the eldest 87. The clinical staging was as follows: Supraglottic cancer 41 cases (stage II 23, stage III 16, stage IV 2), glottic cancer 47 (stage II 15, stage III 27, stage IV 5), subglottic cancer 2 (stage II 1, stage IV 1). The 3, 5, 10 year-survival rates were 76.6%, 60.8% and 18.2% respectively. Decannulation was successful in 42 cases (46.7%). All patients could take food via mouth and speak without training.
