Glottik Tümörlerin Tedavisinde Vertikal ve Suprakrikoid Parsiyel Larenjektomi

Objective: We retrospectively analyzed the patients who underwent vertical partial laryngectomy (VPL) and supracricoid laryngectomy (SCPL) for glottic cancer and the oncologic results of these surgical techniques. Material and Methods: Forty patients who underwent VPL and SCPL for glottic cancer at Otolaryngology Clinic between 2001-2008 were included in the study. Results: Aspiration occurred in 10 %of the VPL patients and 30 %of the SCPL patients. Local control rates of VPL and SCPL were 80 %and 85 %respectively. Larynx preservation rate was 80 %for VPL and 90 %for SCPL. Three and 5-year disease free survival rates of VPL and SCPL were 79 %- 74 %and 85 %- 75 %respectively. Conclusion: Both VPL and SCPL are reliable surgical techniques that have low recurrence and high larynx preservation rates for the treatment of glottic cancer. When compared with VPL, SCPL has increased complication rates
