[Surgical treatment of patients with cancer of the larynx with lesions of the anterior commissure]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie bol'nykh rakom gortani s porazheniem ee perednei komissury.

Eighty two patients with glottic tumors extending to the anterior commissure underwent surgical treatment: 11 patients for cordectomy in its classic form, 11 patients for fronto-lateral cordectomy, 59 patients for extended cordectomy, and 1 patient for hemilaryngectomy according to Otan. Analysis of the postoperative clinical state of the patients suggests that surgery for vocal cord carcinoma involving the anterior commissure should not necessarily include tracheostomy and laryngeal tamponade.
