[Ten-year experiences of epiglottic laryngoplasty after partial laryngectomy].
In order to objectively evaluate the long-term result of epiglottic laryngoplasty (ELP), ten-year experience of ELP after partial laryngectomy in 100 patients with glottic cancer was analysed. Our program included 1. complete excision of laryngeal carcinoma; 2. correct selection of material for laryngoplasty (LP); 3. technical modification of LP. The 3, 5 and 10 year survival rates were 87%, 79.5% and 66.7% respectively. It is believed that modified ELP is better than original K-S-T technique in the aspect of preserving all laryngeal functions.
