Abstract

A modified technique of combined laryngeal resection in vestibular cancer T3-T4 (involvement of the arytenoid cartilage) was tried in 8 patients. To compensate for laryngeal separative function after the radical surgery, the reconstruction of the posterior laryngeal wall was performed by mobilization of the upper corniculum of the thyroid cartilage. In satisfactory functional results the method did not contribute to the disease aggravation.
