Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy (HSL) allows the preservation of a functioning larynx and avoids a permanent tracheostoma. Its use and training have been conditioned by the employment of organ preservation programs and endoscopic laser surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To show functional and oncological long-term results of HSL.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
110 patients treated with HSL with a minimum of 5 years follow-up.
RESULTS
Local control, 89% for T1, 91% for T2, 80% for T3 and 91% for T4. Regional control 80.9%. Cause specific survival, 77.6%, 72.6% and 67% at 3, 5 and 10 years, significantly influenced by N-stage. Functional larynx preservation, 87%, with a 8.5% of non-decanulated patients.
CONCLUSION
HSL is a safe surgical procedure, with similar functional and oncological results to other therapeutic options. Its indications should be considered according to own experience and results.
