Analysis of the treatment methods of laryngeal cancer: surgical treatment

Although there are many ways to treat laryngeal cancer, surgery has always been the first choice for many patients, and the effect of treating laryngeal cancer is relatively good. So what are the common surgical methods for treating laryngeal cancer? The following will tell you about the common surgical methods for treating laryngeal cancer.

In general, common surgical treatments for laryngeal cancer include:

1. Hemilaryngectomy and partial laryngectomy

Depending on the location of the lesion, hemilaryngectomy for laryngeal cancer includes anterolateral hemilaryngectomy, supraglottic horizontal hemilaryngectomy, anterolateral hemilaryngectomy and 3/4 laryngectomy. This method of treating laryngeal cancer is mainly suitable for patients whose vocal cord cancer has spread to the vocal process, one side of the vocal cord has exceeded the anterior commissure, the vocal cord cancer has developed under the glottis, or one side of the vocal cord cancer has not regressed after radiotherapy.

2. Total laryngectomy

Total laryngectomy was first performed in 1873, and the first complete laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer was successful. Since then, total laryngectomy has been considered a relatively thorough method for treating laryngeal cancer and has always been dominant in clinical practice. Especially after the advent of antibiotics, the mortality rate of surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer has been greatly reduced, making its clinical application more extensive. Although hemi-laryngectomy and partial laryngectomy have been widely performed, total laryngectomy is still the main surgical method for treating laryngeal cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common surgical treatment methods for laryngeal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Patients should choose the treatment method for laryngeal cancer that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
