[Supracricoid partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer]
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Shanghai First People's Hospital, Shanghai 200080.
Objective:
To analyze the key points, especially the indications and contraindications of supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL).
Methods:
During the years 1995 to 1996, 18 patients with laryngeal cancer underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy. Ten of them (55.56%) were classified as T1b and T2 glottic cancers, 8 of them (44.44%) as T3 and T4 glottic cancer or transglottic carcinomas. Three types of supracircoid partial laryngectomy (CHP, CHEP and TCHEP) were employed accordingly.
Results:
Overall three-year survival rate was 94.40%. All patients were decannulated from 14 to 42 days and all resumed normal oral feeding from 14 to 30 days. Speech was good in all patients.
Conclusion:
The SCPL procedure not only increases local control rate, but also maintains physiologic speech and swallowing.
