Abstract

The authors report on their experience with 25 cases of horizontal glottectomy and discuss the functional and oncological results of this operation. Indications for this procedure are Tia and Tib glottic carcinomas. The overall three-year and five-year survival was respectively 94 and 88 per cent. Distant metastasis appears to be the major long-term failure, three patients dying of lung carcinoma. Short functional rehabilitation was observed in all cases. Decannulation was achieved in 100 per cent of the cases and none of our patients had laryngeal stenosis. The average time of removal of the nasogastric tube was 11.8 days. Because of its high local control and reduced functional after effects, horizontal glottectomy appears to be a reliable and safe procedure for limited glottic carcinomas and must be included in their therapeutic management.
