Objectives: Recurrent laryngeal cancer can be treated either with total laryngectomy or in selected cases with supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP). We performed a retrospective study to analyze the functional and oncological results of supracricoid laryngectomy with CHEP.
Methods: Fourteen patients were treated with supracricoid laryngectomy with CHEP. In 8 patients, flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was performed. Preoperative and postoperative voice evaluation was performed in 5 patients. Oncological and functional follow-up, postoperative complications, and data concerning rehabilitation were recorded on standard forms.
Results: After the supracricoid laryngectomy with CHEP, 11 of the 14 patients were alive and disease-free. No local recurrences were found, but 2 patients had regional recurrences. The voice was worse after the operation; however, most patients were satisfied. Swallowing was uncompromised.
Conclusions: Supracricoid laryngectomy with CHEP for recurrent glottic laryngeal cancer after radiotherapy appears to be oncologically safe and functional.

Supracricoid Partial Laryngectomy Versus Radiation Therapy for cT3N0M0 Glottic SCC: Outcomes in Candidates for Total Laryngectomy Responding Well to Induction Chemotherapy.

Objective: To evaluate whether supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) may be a viable alternative to radiation therapy (RT) for patients with glottic cT3N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who are surgical candidates for total laryngectomy (TL) and respond well to platinum-based induction chemotherapy.
Methods: Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients with cT3N0M0 glottic SCC, initially considered surgical candidates only for TL who showed a good response to platinum-based induction chemotherapy, managed at a French university teaching institution with either SCPL (n = 9) or RT (n = 9). The main endpoints were 10-year local control and laryngeal preservation.

Objectives: To evaluate vocal, swallowing and respiratory rehabilitation of patients undergoing supracricoid laryngectomy; evaluate the impact of voice changes and global quality of life.
Methods: It is a prospective cohort study where voice, swallowing and respiratory rehabilitation where evaluated. Quality of life was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and H&N35 questionnaires.

Over the last 2 decades, the paradigm of laryngeal cancer management has pivoted toward preserving laryngeal function without sacrificing oncologic outcomes. Transoral laser microsurgery has diminished the role of open laryngeal surgery. For early-stage laryngeal cancer, the common primary modalities are endoscopic laryngeal surgery and narrow field radiation.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to document 10-year outcomes after supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) in selected cT3M0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients.
Methods: This real-life retrospective observational study analyzed an inception cohort of 168 patients with isolated, untreated, selected cT3M0 laryngeal SCC, that were consecutively managed by SCPL during the period 1973-2013, and followed up until death or for a minimum of 10 years in 92% of cases at a single French academic and tertiary referral care center. Prior induction chemotherapy, arytenoid cartilage removal, level II-IV neck dissection, and postoperative radiation therapy were performed on 148, 77, 136, and 27 patients, respectively.
Dysphagia After Partial Horizontal Supracricoid Laryngectomy: A Close Look.

Partial horizontal supracricoid laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) is a conservative surgical alternative for laryngeal cancer in the glottic or supraglottic region. Dysphagia and aspiration are frequently reported consequences of this surgery. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx (T2N0M0), who underwent SCPL with CHEP reconstruction.
