Abstract

The supracricoid hemilaryngopharyngectomy consists of resection of the supracricoid hemilarynx and ipsilateral pyriform sinus. Two hundred forty patients underwent this procedure from 1964 through 1983. Two hundred twenty-two patients had no airway impairment, and 204 recovered normal deglutition. The local recurrence rate was 5.2%. Indications for the procedure are carcinoma of the supracricoid upper part of the pyriform sinus and carcinoma of the lateral laryngeal margin with normal vocal cord mobility.
