    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Supraglottic laryngectomy is the preferred surgical treatment for supraglottic cancer, offering a 79% five-year cure rate. This procedure, often combined with neck dissection, shows low complication rates and a three-week average recovery for breathing and swallowing functions.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Supraglottic cancer typically remains localized due to laryngeal embryology and lymphatic drainage.
    • Cancer spread is usually superior, involving adjacent structures, with rare inferior glottic invasion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of supraglottic laryngectomy for treating supraglottic cancer.
    • To assess the role of associated neck dissection in managing lymph node metastases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 240 supraglottic laryngectomy cases over 14 years.
    • Inclusion of neck dissection, primarily bilateral, irrespective of lymph node status.
    • Documentation of cure rates, postoperative mortality, rehabilitation times, and complications.

    Main Results:

    • A five-year cure rate of 79% was achieved.
    • Five postoperative deaths were recorded.
    • Average rehabilitation for breathing and swallowing was three weeks, with rare complications like fistula or infection.

    Conclusions:

    • Supraglottic laryngectomy is an effective treatment for supraglottic cancer, with favorable oncological outcomes.
    • Associated neck dissection is crucial due to high metastasis rates.
    • The procedure demonstrates a good safety profile with efficient functional recovery.
