Intraoperative modification of a supracricoid laryngectomy to a subtotal laryngectomy with tracheohyoidoepiglottopexy.
In recent decades, with the widespread diffusion of the supracricoid laryngectomy in the treatment of selected advanced laryngeal neoplasm, the indications to non-conservative surgery are less frequent than in past. We report the case of a patient in whom a planned supracricoid laryngectomy was intraoperatively converted in an extended partial laryngectomy with tracheohyoidoepiglottopexy for a tumor involving the cricoid cartilage.
