These technigues are neccessarily based on the precise staging of the tumor and the knowledge of tumor behavior as related to the histologic type and the various barriers of the larynx.

The unique embryology, compartmentalization of the larynx and growth patterns of laryngeal cancer are the foundation for principle of conservation surgery of the larynx.

This report is for the results of 23 cases of conservation laryngeal surgery from 1985 to 1993, which were 3 cases of endoscopic CO₂ laser cordectomy, 10 cases of vertical hemilaryngectomy, 8 cases of subtotal supraglottic laryngectomy, and 2 cases of near total laryngectomy.
