Abstract After a period of critical evaluation, subtotal laryngectomies are now considered to be valuable additions to the surgical management of laryngeal neoplasms. It is now possible to obtain good functional and oncological results in treating clinical situations that until a few years ago appeared curable only by radical surgery. We now report our clinical experiences with Labayle and Majer-Piquet types of subtotal laryngectomies and discuss indications and contra-indications to such surgery. Our current preference is to use the Labayle technique, since it permits better functional recovery and a shorter clinical course.
