Description
Summary:	The authors assess the possibility to perform subtotal laryngectomy for extensive tumors of the endolarynx. They describe a particular variety of T3/T4 tumor extending anteriorly to the thyroid cartilage or to the pre-epiglottic space. Such tumors do not affect the arytenoid cartilages posteriorly, which makes functional subtotal laryngectomy with CHP or CHEP possible. This surgery was performed in 28 patients from 1972 to 1985, with 20 patients still living after 5 years, ie. 72% of all cases.
