Laryngomy

Early vocal cord tumors, if the lesion is confined to the middle part of one vocal cord, the front end does not invade the anterior commissure, the rear part does not affect the vocal process, and those with normal vocal cord movement (Figure 1) can be used for laryngomy. Although the post-operative voice is hoarse, he can still talk in general, and his breathing and diet are not disturbed. The five-year survival rate is similar to that of radiation therapy, which can reach 90% or more. If the cancerous site has reached the anterior commissure or even exceeds the anterior commissure and the contralateral vocal cords (Figure 2), conventional laryngeal dehiscence is not suitable, and anterior commissural laryngomy can be used.
