Such an operation allows total removal of the tumour and is followed by an acceptable though impaired functional result. Eight cases subjected to total glossectomy without laryngectomy are presented and aspects of ablative and reconstructive surgery are discussed. A report is made of postoperative complications and of functional rehabilitation: mastication is certainly impaired. However, swallowing is regained rapidly and phonation, although altered, is still comprehensible.
