Abstract

Aim: To determine the pathologic anterior commissure invasion rate in patients undergoing supracricoid partial laryngectomy.
Material and Method: We have reviewed retrospectively the files of patients who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx in our clinic to determine the rates of pathologic anterior commissure invasion and to investigate the relationship of pathologic anterior commissure invasion according to other characteristics of the tumor.
Results: Anterior commissure invasion was found in 51.8% of the patients who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy. Some 64.3% of the patients with anterior commissure invasion were in stage T2. The anterior commissure invasion rate was 56.25% in T2 tumors. Anterior commissure invasion was detected in all patients with T1b, whereas no anterior commissure invasion was detected in any T3 cases.
Conclusion: In the selection of the supracricoid laryngectomy technique, which can be performed effectively and safely in the treatment of glottic region tumors, anterior commissure invasion is critical, and T1b tumors, in particular, should be evaluated carefully for anterior commissure invasion.
