title: [Prophylaxis of the postop complications in combined treatment of patients with laryngeal cancer].
abstract: The method of prevention of local and systemic postoperative complications in partial resections of the larynx and laryngectomy is proposed: preoperative radiotherapy is planned in medium-fraction regimen; on the day of the last radiation exposure the operation is performed; the operative wound is throughly sutured and drained; local intermittent hypothermia is used before and after surgery. The healing of the postoperative wound is described in 115 patients and 22 controls.
