Subtotal Laryngectomies

Portions of the larynx can also be resected. For example, a hemilaryngectomy is a voice-preserving procedure in which either the left or right thyroid cartilage, true vocal cord, false cord, and ventricle are removed in continuity.

Subtotal Laryngectomies

Portions of the larynx can also be resected. For example, a hemilaryngectomy is a voice-preserving procedure in which either the left or right thyroid cartilage, true vocal cord, false cord, and ventricle are removed in continuity. A supraglottic laryngec-tomy is a procedure performed for tumors of thesupraglottic larynx in which the supraglottis is removed with a horizontal incision through the ventricles. The approach to these subtotal laryn-gectomy specimens should follow that for total laryngectomy. In addition, the new margins cre-ated by the procedure need to be sampled.
