A retrospective study was conducted of 141 cases of laryngeal vestibule cancer treated by partial surgery between 1968 and 1977. Patients underwent either subglottic laryngectomy (105 cases) or subtotal laryngectomy with cricohyoidoplexy (36 cases). Operative mortality was 6.5 p. 100. Overall survival rate was 63 p. 100 at 3 years, with lymph node invasion in 32 p. 100 of cases, and a 3 year survival rate for group N of 71 p. 100 as against 50 p. 100 for group N+.
