[Operations for laryngeal carcinoma with reservation of laryngeal function].

OBJECTIVE: To study the long term results and functional recovery of partial laryngectomy in the treatment of glottic and supraglottic types of laryngeal carcinoma. METHOD: A series of 70 cases operated on between July 1978 and August 1998 were analysed, of whom 60 were glottic, 10 were supraglottic type laryngeal carcinoma. Among them, 22 cases underwent vocal cord resection, 22 vertical hemilaryngectomy, 17 Majer-Piquet's operation, 7 horizontal hemilaryngectomy, 2 Arslan's operation. RESULT: 1, 3, 5-year survival rates were 98.53%, 87.04% and 78.26% respectively. Decannulation rate was 100%. All patients could finally take food by mouth without inspiration, and could speak as soon as decannulated. Complication and recurrence rates were 15.71% and 13.04% separately. CONCLUSION: Partial laryngectomy is an effective operation on laryngeal carcinoma with reservation of laryngeal function. It not only can totally excise neoplasm and prolong life, but also can better reserve laryngeal function and improve the quality of patient's life.

[Surgical treatment for the recurrent patients after palatopharyngoplasty].

OBJECTIVE: To study the surgical treatment for the recurrent patients after palatopharyngoplasty (PPP). METHOD: Five patients which were confirmed recurrence by sleep survey and examinations were reported. RESULT: The pharyngeal cavity was narrower obviously ten months after ppp than before ppp. The anteroposterior and transverse distances were (4.06 +/- 2.94) mm and (11.40 +/- 4.16) mm respectively. After dilatation, the distances were (11.90 +/- 3.25) mm and (21.00 +/- 4.18) mm separately, and were increased significantly than before (P < 0.01). Two patients were cured and three cases marked, and all patients were not recurrent post-operation with no complications. CONCLUSION: The recurrence was mainly concerned with the unsuitable manipulation in PPP. Selecting the cooperation and proper surgical treatment, the better effect was also obtained for the recurrent patients.
