Abstract
Conclusion: Frontovertical partial laryngectomy is useful for treatment of T1 and T2 glottic squamous cell carcinoma with anterior commissure involvement. Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of frontovertical partial laryngectomy for T1 and T2 glottic carcinoma with anterior commissure involvement. Methods: This was a retrospective review of 58 cases of glottic squamous cell carcinoma with anterior commissure involvement (T1, n = 28; T2, n = 30) that were treated by frontovertical partial laryngectomy between August 2000 and August 2010. Results: Postoperative pathology reports confirmed negative tumor margins in every case. All patients were followed postoperatively, with a median follow-up interval of 55 months. Three patients had local recurrence; there were no patients who had cervical or distant metastases. The 3-year local control rate was 94% according to life tables curves. There were no reports of laryngostenosis or dysphagia in any patients, and mean Voice Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaire scores were 32.9.
