Abstract:
We present our series of 21 patients treated since 1991 to 2000 with glottic carcinomas T1a-b with commissure extension. The surgical technique used has been frontolateral laryngectomy as Leroux-Robert in 8 cases, and in the other 13 cases we have contributed with somme variations using a piece of superficial cervical fascia to close the thyroid opening and a piece of the vestibular band for the reconstruction at the glottic level. We studied the functional and oncological results we have obtained with a minimum control of one year and maximum of seven years.
