【 摘 要 】

Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is the sixth most common neoplasia, being the second neoplasia of the head and neck, after oral cancer.STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective clinical study chart review.MATERIAL AND METHOD: From 1991 to 2003, 24 patients whose glottic lesions involving anterior comissure were operated with a reconstructive anterior frontal laryngectomy with epiglotoplasty, such as described by Tucker et al in 1979.RESULTS: Our functional results confirm those reported in the previous publications. There were no post-operative mortalities and follow-up was usually uncomplicated. All patients underwent decanulation and were able to eat by tract normal.CONCLUSION: Our findings show that partial laryngectomy by Tucker's technique is an effective surgical approach for glottic carcinoma at the anterior comissure and the membranous portion of both vocal cords; considering these lesions cannot be adequately managed with transoral endoscopic surgery resection or fronto lateral partial laryngectomy.
