Abstract

We reviewed the records of 66 consecutive patients with previously untreated supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma who underwent a supraglottic laryngectomy in our department between 1970 and 1989. There were 23 T1, 30 T2 and 13 T3 cases. Eight patients had neck metastases and underwent neck dissection also. Twentyfour (36 per cent) patients received post–operative radiotherapy. Two–year and five–year survival rates were 88.9 per cent and 82.2 per cent respectively. When the survival rates of the patients with T1, T2 and T3 lesions were calculated separately and compared with each other the differences were not statistically significant. Recurrences, post-operative complications, time to progression and indications for supraglottic laryngectomy are discussed.
