Summary
Horizontal glottectomy offers a solution for bilateral glottic cancer, preserving function. This technique involves vocal cord excision while conserving the arytenoids, showing promising oncological and functional outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Oncology
- Laryngeal Cancer Research
Context:
- Bilateral glottic carcinoma presents unique surgical challenges.
- Traditional surgical approaches often result in unsatisfactory outcomes.
- The horizontal glottectomy technique, introduced in 1978, addresses these challenges.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the horizontal glottectomy technique for bilateral glottic carcinoma.
- To detail the technical aspects of the procedure.
- To discuss current indications and results.
Summary:
- The study reports on 12 cases of bilateral glottic carcinoma treated with horizontal glottectomy.
- This technique involves the en bloc excision of both vocal cords and adjacent thyroid cartilage, with preservation of the arytenoids.
- The procedure demonstrated satisfactory oncological control and functional preservation.
Impact:
- Provides a viable surgical option for bilateral glottic carcinoma.
- Highlights the importance of laryngeal preservation techniques.
- Contributes to the understanding of oncological and functional results in glottic cancer surgery.
