title: [A preliminary evaluation of the horizontal-vertical hemilaryngectomy in 41 cases].

The patient's age ranged from 35 to 64 years. There were 37 cases (90.2%) in the stage III and IV. All the patients had acquired the function of speech in different quality, and good swallowing. 80.5% (33 cases) of them were extubated. The 5-year survival rate was 70.7%.
