[25 years experience in treatment of glottic cancer with classical extented fronto-lateral laryngectomy].

190 patients with glottic cancer (177 male and 13 female) treated by surgery in the course of the last 25 years are being presented. In 92 cases classic and in 98 extended fronto-lateral laryngectomy was carried out. Diagnostic and surgical procedures, depending on anatomical structures of the larynx infiltrated by the neoplasm, were discussed. Own experiences in reconstruction of tissue's defects with pedicle skin flaps from the nearest neighbourhood (13 cases), vascular pedicle gland flaps (19 cases) and with epiglottis (50 cases) were talked over. 5 years survival rate amounted to 90-91%. Oncological and functional results were presented. The weight of personal experience in the improvement of those results in the last 5 years was stressed.
