Abstract
Total laryngectomy has stood the test of time as an oncologically safe surgery in the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the larynx since it was introduced by Billroth in the year 1880 The surgical management of the lymphatic and non lymphbearing structures, however, is a matter of debate. Our centre practices routine selective neck dissections (Level 11a, 111 and 1V) and at least hemithyroidectomy alongside total laryngectomy for patients with advanced carcinoma of the larynx.
