[Partial horizonto-vertical laryngectomy: experience of 44 cases (follow up of more than five years].
The horizontal-vertical partial laryngectomy combines supraglottic and hemilaryngeal excisions of one side of the larynx and is indicated, as first choice, in the supraglottic tumours with unilateral glotoaryntenoid involvement. We have followed this theory and practice since 1974, and have studied 44 patients operated on using this technique up to 1986, who have now (1992) been followed up for more than five years. Analysis of the results shows the number of patients alive and free of tumour, and the number of decannulations, to be sufficiently high for the recommendation of this technique in the treatment of such tumours.
