Abstract
The quality of primary treatment is crucial for the results of laryngeal tumor therapy and the patient’s life. Endoscopic resection was not able to replace open partial resection totally. Patient selection is based on the tumor’s extent, the surgeon’s expertise, and patient’s expectations and/or demands. The main indication for open partial resection are glottic cancers with involvement of supraglottic or subglottic structures, one-sided slightly impaired mobility, or extension into the anterior commissure to the other vocal fold. Contraindications for oncological reasons include invasion of the thyroid cartilage, arytenoid fixation, interarytenoid invasion, subglottic extension with involvement of the cricoid cartilage, lesions that extend outside the larynx, and preepiglottic space invasion.
