Comparison of Patients With Total and Salvage Laryngectomy.

Introduction And Objectives: Total laryngectomy (TL) is one of the treatments available in locally advanced laryngeal carcinomas or as a salvage therapy when organ preservation fails, achieving high survival rates and few complications. The aim of this study was to analyse the oncological outcomes, comparing the data obtained with the current literature and analysing complications and survival.

Methods: The study included 62 patients with primary carcinoma of the larynx treated by primary or salvage TL between 2003 and 2019.
